48. Ribnica fair

Ribnica fair is the largest touristica-ethnological event in Slovenia, held annually on the first Sunday of September. More than 350 exhibitors participate in it, while every year over 30,000 visitors come to see the event in person. The Ribnica fair is a celebration of Slovenian handicraft traditions, in particular woodworking and pottery.

Every year, the Ribnica fair brings a unique fair experience to the wider centre of Ribnica, as it takes place on the town's streets. It offers visitors an all-day experience, combining socialising with business in various forms, and in particular showcases the skills of renowned local craftsmen. The Ribnica Fair is therefore an ethnological speciality in the Slovenian landscape, unrivalled in terms of the number of exhibitors and its size.
