Holiday

Since 1945, the holiday of the City of Ljubljana has been celebrated on 9 May. At that day, the liberation of the city from German occupation during

World War II World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the World War II by country, vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great power ...

was announced in 1945. In 1964, the holiday was added to the statute of the municipality as "the day of the liberation of Ljubljana in the victorious national liberation war 1941–1945". Since 1995, it has been known as "the day of freedom and peace". In 1995, despite disagreements, 14 April was added to the statute as the date of the first mention of Ljubljana in written sources, based on a document from 1243. The holiday on 14 April was much less known than the holiday on 9 May. In February 2011, the mayor presented a proposal to only celebrate 9 May to the municipal council, because it was inexpedient for Ljubljana to be the only municipality in Slovenia to celebrate two days as municipal holidays, and to celebrate the municipal holiday on the date of the first mention, which may change with time. The proposal was passed by the municipal council and became valid in February 2012. Since then, the only holiday of the City Municipality of Ljubljana has been 9 May, the day of freedom and peace.
