There are frequently exhibitions, processions, or parades with presentations of farm occupations, etc. One such events is the Week of Beer and Flowers in La ko. There are numerous sporting events during the summer that from year to year have incorporated an increasing number of ritual elements and can be treated as customs and practices of the modern time. One of the best known parades in Slovenia is the Parade with Presentations of Farm Work, Occupations, and Domestic Crafts organized annually during the international agricultural fair held in Gornja Radgona. The basic characteristic of this event, this modern custom, is the presentation of farm life in different historical periods on floats that play the role of theatre stages moving along the streets of Radgona past several thousand spectators.
Entire villages prepare thematic displays and participate in the parade.
They are usually divided into two large content groups, one presenting characteristic farm life in a specific period and the other presenting specific farm work and occupations such as threshing, harvesting, picking grapes, etc. The latter thus presents elements of our heritage on the floats in a live, acted manner. Of course, such parade events take place not only in Gornja Radgona but also in numerous places around Slovenia. This type of tourist event, which is really a custom of modern times, is not peculiar or thematically original to Slovenia. Similar parades are held in many European countries and are also very popular in the United States, where they are usually connected with the summer-autumn festivities at the end of the harvest, getting in the crops, etc.
