Each November 25, on Saint Catherine's Day, the Slovenian town of Lendava holds a traditional fair.

Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Linked to the feast day of St. Catherine, the fair is part of a broader Slovenian tradition of winter fairs (e.g. Martin’s and Catherine’s fairs). In Prekmurje, it celebrates local produce and prepares the community for the approaching Christmas period. Historically, it was a crucial market day for farmers.
