It is strangely pleasant when the ladies get together for dinner or ice cream, but it is even nicer if the time we spend together is used for something more creative. And this is exactly the guide that led ŽUPica to ŽUPtrgovinica and later also to ŽUPfestica, where we will be able to enjoy this weekend with friends or even the whole family in the greenest park in Ljubljana.
Parish priest was seen on one of the social networks some time ago as the Female Creator and Connector, which invited creative and artistic souls to create even more. It's nice to see beautiful unique products and a limitless imagination that eventually grew into something bigger. "We have been toying with the idea of women's festival, where ladies and girls who work and create in various fields would have the opportunity to prepare an event for them under a common name, which will take place several times a year, every year. Summer is an opportunity for an outdoor festival, and in the winter period it will be joined by a festival that will be moved indoors, which will give it new dimensions and recognition," she told us. Anja Baloh Grubelnik, founder of ŽUPica.
At the festival, which will be held this weekend at Boathouses in Tivoli invited with all their creative energy, they will be on exhibition and sales corners presented different artists and creators, and at the same time we will be able to join workshops and activities. It looks like this on Saturday bicycle fair, where we can bring old or unused sports items on wheels, which we will either sell or exchange or simply give away. While the Sabbath day will conclude JazzLadies concert, we will be whole the end of the festival on Sunday at 8 p.m rounded off with a free tour under a pleasant sky of the Slovenian film Panika, while a leisurely Sunday will be dedicated to exchanging books.
ŽUPtrgovicina invites you every day
It appears to be A parish festival a unique presentation of an extremely interesting project and at the same time added value to ŽUPica and ŽUPtrgovina, where unique products of up-and-coming creators are displayed every sunny day. "ŽUPtrgovinica is a concept that, unlike fairs, where there is sometimes too much to offer even for such a trained eye, and classic stores, where unique products remain inadvertently hidden on some of the shelves, offers a transparent and pleasant presentation," Anja explained to us, adding, that we can chat with our friends at the cute little stand in front of the Čolnarna and do other things by the way "shopping for the soul", as he tells him.
And the shop, which will be otherwise open until September, it is truly a real balm for the soul, for sparkling eyes, a gift or just a look into the boundless imagination. Here, we cannot ignore the fact that, in Anja's opinion, creativity in times of increased unemployment is "just a new possibility to find and get to know ourselves from a different perspective and become creators of our lives". Who knows what awaits us all, but this weekend will undoubtedly be a great ŽUPfest among greenery, under the stars with good music and a great local film.
