Almost every important and bigger place always had specific days in year for the fair, which was an opportunity for additional income and so it was in Sežana. Mainly they were selling livestock, as well as fair stuff. In those days, many Sežana Inns earned good. For Sežana were famous horse fairs. Horses were brought from Bosnia and Croatia, also from Hungary and sold them to Italians.

Space for fairs was on Lužešče, where today is a memorial park in front of the court house. In park is now a small monument to the fallen and statue of the national hero Albert Gruden. On this area once was a pond, where animals watered. When in year 1892, next to the pond, they built the court, they moved the fairgrounds at the base of Tabor behind the church. Still today the place is called fairground.

Formely Lužeče was reserved area for fairs with pigs and cattle, while the place behind the church was reserved for horses. The fairground later become a fairground for selling the cattle as other animals and also agricultural tools and woodenware.
