Again this year, Ljubljana marked 9 May, the city holiday, with the traditional march on the Path along the Wire and the triples run. On the holiday, we also presented the highest recognitions of the City of Ljubljana, with the Honorary Citizen titles at the top.

We completed the green ring around Ljubljana

With the march held each year, we remember the courage of our ancestors who resisted the occupiers who encircled Ljubljana with barbed wire. This year, we embarked on the Path along the Wire between 4 and 6 May. On the first day, children from Ljubljana's kindergartens, on the second day, students from Ljubljana's schools, and the event culminated on Saturday, 6 May, with the recreational march and the triples run.

The march, held for the 65th time this year, is the largest sports and recreational event in our country, attended by over 30,000 people every year.
