Dried Fruit Festival

The Association for Preserving Heritage invites you to the traditional Dried Fruit Festival on September 20th at 12:00 PM, featuring a varied program of events.

The children are dancing cheerfully under the marquee.

Have you ever tasted *štruklji* (dumplings) filled with dried pears? Do you know which toothpicks are the best and how they are made? If you would like to find out and taste all of this, you must attend our Dried Fruit Festival. The event features demonstrations of fruit drying and the village's heritage, displays of traditional rural tasks, Gradež cuisine, a rich market offering local products, a cultural program, a raffle, mushroom exhibition, a party with a live band, and much more.
