Winter Open Day at the Lipica Stud Farm
We invite you to join us on Thursday, February 8, for the winter open day. Entry to the Lipica Stud Farm estate is free.
Presentation of the Lipica Riding School in the renovated riding hall.
On Prešeren Day, February 8, we annually commemorate the death of our greatest Slovenian poet, France Prešeren. We have been celebrating the Slovenian Culture Day since 1945. As a cultural institution, the Lipica Stud Farm joins one of the major Slovenian holidays each year with an open day and invites visitors to come.
You are warmly invited to join us this year too!
It’s good to know:
The 7th stanza of Prešeren’s “Zdravljica” is our national anthem, making it the most important poem of France Prešeren for Slovenians.
Every year on February 8, the Prešeren Awards and Prešeren Fund Awards are also presented for outstanding achievements in the arts in Slovenia. The Prešeren Award is given to creators who have enriched the Slovenian cultural treasury with their artistic achievements or life’s work.
