This year's Straw Hat Fair will once again focus on straw, straw hats, and the tradition of braiding. Visitors can look forward to a fashion show, demonstrations of traditional crafts, and a vibrant cultural programme featuring music, dance, and singing performances. Children will enjoy creative workshops and games.
The Domžale Straw Hat Museum will offer free entry, guided tours, and an exhibition on the 300-year tradition of straw hat-making.
The guest of honour will be the Minister of Culture, Asta Vrečko, who will open the straw hat season together with the Mayor of Domžale.
Both local and international exhibitors will take part. As in previous years, the fair will once again be held in cooperation with Domžale Cultural Society Brass Band (KD Godba Domžale).
The fair is organised by the Straw Hat Museum, part of the France Bernik Cultural Centre Domžale, in cooperation with the Municipality of Domžale. The event is also co-funded by Ljubljana Tourism.
