Our beautiful Triglav dance ensemble in their Gorenjska costumes.

The region of Gorenjska, also known as Upper Carniola, is a stunning region in northwest Slovenia nestled among the Julian Alps, Karavanke, and Kamnik-Savinja mountain ranges. It’s home to Triglav National Park, Slovenia’s only national park, and iconic natural landmarks like Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj.

The richness of the Gorenjska costume lies in its intricate craftsmanship, symbolic design, and deep cultural resonance. This richness isn’t just aesthetic—it signifies social status, regional pride, and a connection to ancestral traditions. Today, the costume is worn during festivals and folk performances, serving as a living tribute to Slovenia’s heritage and the artistry of its people.

Everyone is so polite and kind it makes you feel so welcomed when you attend! When showing guests around the cultural display she loves talking about the 7 regions of Slovenija. Each region has such a unique style and history about them that is very fun to speak about. Her favourite food at the pavilion is the palačinke made with strawberry jam. She loves how sweet it tastes.

When showing guests around the cultural display he enjoys speaking about the 7 different regions of Slovenija. He finds the diversity of Slovenian culture so fascinating, considering its small size. Whether it’s the attire or architecture, Slovenija has very different and diverse regions in his opinion.

✨ Welcome to our fit check! ✨ Take a look at Ava and Julianne rocking the traditional Prekmurje costume!
Prekmurje is a unique region in Slovenia, known for its expansive plains and agricultural heritage—quite similar to Manitoba’s wide-open farmland. While most of Slovenia features mountainous terrain and rolling hills, Prekmurje stands apart with its flat landscapes and rustic charm.
One of the region’s most beloved symbols is the stork. These elegant birds are often seen nesting across the countryside and are famously linked to the whimsical image of storks delivering babies wrapped in blankets—a nod to folklore you’ll likely recognize!
