Before the rain and considerable cooling at the beginning of the school year, we successfully put under the roof the organically grown millet.

On the 22nd of June, our society organized the seventh evening in the village, which was attended by quite a few villagers despite the bad weather.

On a sunny June Saturday, members of our association took part in a professional excursion to Lake Wörthersee and a few nearby villages. One of these is the home of Christian Zeichen, a Slovene from Carinthia, on whose initiative groups of Carinthian tourists have been coming to Gradež for several years, so we wanted to return his visit somehow.

An exhibition of paintings by members of the Association of Visual Artists of Ljubljana in amateur local painters was concluded. It was held from 13 to 20 May 2019 at the Dom krajanov Turjak.

This year we also organized a carnival parade on the carnival Saturday.

On Saturday, 16th February an annual general meeting of our association was held, it was attended by a half of its members.

It has become a tradition that a few of our members attend an Alpe-Adria (Alps-Adria) fair, this year the 30th taking place between the 30th of January and the 2nd of February. 

Once more did our Association for preserving heritage successfully put up the nativity scene in the hidden places of Gradež, the biggest nativity scene in Slovenia - 350 nativity scenes were put up and 3000 people visited us just to see them. You can imagine that such a big number of visitors, was a big deal for our village, especially because there are only 260 inhabitants, including the new settlement, and the old Gradež only has 120 inhabitants.

Our Association for preserving heritage prepared the 11th display of nativity scene in Gradež near Turjak, which is the biggest in Slovenia. More than 340 nativity scenes will be on display until the 2nd of January 2019.

The Association for preserving heritage wishes all visitors of our website a happy, healthy and successful year 2019.
