Days of National Costumes and Clothing Heritage

The Days of National Costumes and Clothing Heritage are considered to be the biggest ethnological festival in Slovenia priding itself on a more than 40-year tradition. The beginnings of the event date back into 1966 when Kamnik citizens organized the Day of National Costumes. In the first year already, a great number of educational societies and individuals, both from Kamnik and its surroundings, attended the event. The event has changed names quite a few times, so in 1986 Kamnik hosted the 16th Days of National Costumes, Folklore and Crafts, which later changed to Days of National Costumes and Clothing Heritage – a name that has been preserved until today, when the event had become widely renowned through its numerous content changes.
