About the event
Slovenians in Prekmurje Incorporated into the Mother Nation Day is celebrated annually on August 17. Prekmurje is a region of Slovenia located between the Mur River in Slovenia and the Raba Valley in the westernmost part of Hungary, which retains certain specific linguistic, cultural, and religious features that distinguish it from other Slovenian traditional regions.
This is a public holiday in the Republic of Slovenia but not a non-working day. On this day, the Slovenes gather in Prekmurje to celebrate their liberation from Hungarian supremacy and becoming part of their native country, Slovenia.
