Lipizzan Day 2026
Lipizzan Day – this year, at Lipica Stud Farm, we will officially celebrate Lipizzan Day for the first time! The Government of the Republic of Slovenia has declared May 19 as Lipizzan Day, and at Lipica Stud Farm we will celebrate it on Sunday, May 17. You are invited to a full-day celebration featuring equestrian spectacles, a Lipizzan horse exhibition, carriage rides, children’s workshops, and excellent cuisine.
From 09:00 onwards, enjoy leisurely walks around the stud farm and discover “Small Machines, Big Helpers – Lipica’s Garage Heroes”, a presentation of the machinery that keeps the Lipica estate running.
At 09:30, don’t miss the special moment when you can watch the herd being released to pasture.
Children can take part in pony workshops at 10:30, 12:30, 14:30, and 16:00.
At 11:00, join a guided tour of the Avgust Černigoj Gallery led by a curator.
The highlight of the day is at 15:00 – the spectacular performance of the Lipica Riding School at the hippodrome.
Throughout the day, you can also enjoy self-guided visits of the Avgust Černigoj Gallery and the Lipikum Museum.
