Jurjevo sejmišče (St. George’s Fair) is a traditional spring fair held each April in the historic town of Ptuj, Slovenia, celebrating the arrival of warmer days and the city’s medieval market heritage. Dating back to the Middle Ages, the fair fills the old town with craft stalls, folk music, and local food vendors, while artisans demonstrate traditional skills and trades. Visitors can browse handmade goods, enjoy regional delicacies, and experience the lively atmosphere that marks Ptuj’s transition from winter to spring. Blending history, community spirit, and seasonal festivity, the St. George’s Fair remains a beloved symbol of Ptuj’s enduring cultural traditions.
