The story

Porcijunkulovo Cakovec in Cakovec

Porcijunkulovo has run for more than fifty years in Cakovec, growing from a Franciscan craft fair tied to the feast of Our Lady of the Angels into the main summer event of the Medimurje region. It runs late July into early August, centered on an August 2 procession and mass.

Porcijunkulovo traces its origins to a Franciscan religious feast, the celebration of Our Lady of the Angels, Porziuncola, and has developed over more than fifty years from what began as a fair of traditional crafts tied to that religious commemoration into the main summer attraction across the whole Medimurje region in Cakovec.
