The story behind it
This festival was established to celebrate the harvest and local crafts of Lika. It reflects the county’s rural heritage – for example, one core exhibit is the breed of Lika pramenka sheep, tied to centuries of pastoralism in the Velebit and Plješivica areas. The fair reinforces county identity by inviting community groups, artisans, and schools to participate in cultural presentations alongside the marketplace.
