The Days of National Costumes and Clothing Heritage festival, held in the old town centre of Kamnik, includes costumed processions featuring folk costumes of various regions of Slovenia and other countries.
The festival, first held in 1966, has a long history of drawing attention to heritage clothing and emphasizing the importance of respect for national costumes as part of cultural heritage. Due to its high quality programme, it has been listed among the international festivals under the patronage of the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Art (CIOFF).
Every September, tradition joins forces with ethnography, culture and entertainment. The central event brings together more than two thousand fans and connoisseurs of group-specific costumes, while the programme also includes an offer of traditional Kamnik dishes. For more than five decades, the biggest ethnological festival in Slovenia has been attracting over 30,000 visitors with its programme, as well as media from Slovenia and abroad.
