The fair is carried out in the spirit of preserving traditions and values of the past and as a remembrance of the successful fair past of the oldest free royal town in Slovakia. During four days, the demonstrations of folk arts - products by skilled smiths, tinkers, cornhusk craftswomen, carvers or honey cakes bakers are reasons why people are visiting the Little Rome. The traditional fair nibbles like lokše, goose feast and new wine are a must; as well as carousels and a rich additional cultural programme in the Trinity Square.

The traditional Trnava fair represents a return to traditions of ancient local fairs that were important for life and development of Trnava. The king Belo IV. himself granted the right for organising it. There were eight regular big fairs in Trnava that transformed into anniversary fairs. The today's Trnava fair followed the fair on Saturday after the 8th of September.
