The new Ljubljana fair grounds were established in the mid 1950s and the construction accelerated due to the VIIth Congress of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia that took place in Ljubljana in April 1958. The ambitious halls and pavilions were built from 1954 till the late 1960s according to the plans by Branko Simčič, Milan Mihelič and Ilija Arnautović.
Some of the highlights include concerts by Louis Armstrong (1959) and Duke Ellington, the Slovenska popevka Festival (1965 and again in 2010s). GR served also as a venue for the large survey exhibition on the work of architect Jože Plečnik (1986), and the first book fair in Ljubljana. The Ars Antiquitas Fair, however, was not that successful and the concept was abandoned.
