From 19 to 21 September, ZgodoVikend – the largest event in the Park of Military History, traditionally held on the third weekend of September – will take place.

As an introduction to the rich programme of ZgodoVikend, the traditional Vestirnga 2025 will already be held on Friday, during which the Defence Administration will introduce the military conscripts of the 2007 generation. On this occasion – just like generations before – they will arrive on richly decorated conscription wagons.

Saturday’s programme will begin with a hike to Primož hill, accompanied by a lecture in the former Italian underground fortress of the Alpine Wall and a guided tour of the interior. Visitors will then be able to take part in various guided tours of collections and exhibitions, while the youngest will enjoy diverse children’s workshops. As part of the accompanying programme, an open day will also take place at the Stanislav Požar Barracks, where visitors will experience what it is like to ride in a tank and what life in the Slovenian Armed Forces is like.

Sunday`s programme will be enriched by numerous expert-guided tours of permanent and temporary exhibitions, providing participants with deeper insights into the Park`s exhibits and collections. In cooperation with partner museums, a variety of workshops and animations will take place, presenting selected historical topics to the youngest visitors in an educational and entertaining way. The programme will also feature film screenings, a mini fair of military-historical literature, a presentation of vintage vehicles, as well as static and dynamic presentations by the Slovenian Armed Forces, Civil Protection, fire brigades, and the Police. One of the highlights of ZgodoVikend will be the Sunday demonstration rides of vehicles from the operational part of the collection of the Military Museum of the Slovenian Armed Forces and the Park of Military History.
