This is the biggest event in the town that originates in the old craftsmen tradition of town fairs. Tržič got the town rights in 1492, so the craftsmen were allowed to organize weekly fairs. The biggest and the most important fair of the year was the one on the first Sunday in September. The tradition of the Cobblers' Sunday is connected to an old custom when the shoemaker's apprentices were promoted into assistants. The day ended with a fair and a public festivity when hardworking people of Tržič put aside their work. A festive party still has to take place every Cobblers' Sunday.
