You're invited to ALE today for free ice cream.

Residents and visitors in ALEJO will enjoy free ice cream today as part of a special promotion aimed at attracting families and tourists during the summer heatwave. Starting at 4 p.m., the shopping center’s mascot, Happy, will distribute coupons for a cone of ice cream to guests. These vouchers can be redeemed at several cafes and restaurants within the complex that offer ice cream, including Kavarna Teta Frida, Kavarna Zvezda, neo cafe, and Caffe DeLUXE. The event is part of a broader initiative by ALEJA to provide entertainment and relief from the high temperatures. In addition to the free ice cream, the shopping center has scheduled a swing dance session under the stars this Friday, August 6, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The event is open to both beginners and experienced dancers. At 7 p.m., there will be a free introductory class teaching basic Lindy Hop steps, after which participants can join the open dance floor outdoors. Similar dance evenings are planned for August 21 and September 11. ALEJA continues to remain a comfortable destination even during the hottest days of summer. Visitors can take advantage of ongoing summer discounts in many stores, cool off with ice cream, refreshing drinks, or light meals at the dining venues, and enjoy the air-conditioned spaces throughout the complex. In the children's playground area called Lollipop, young visitors have an additional incentive to visit. Every sixth visit during the month of August is free. From Monday to Friday, between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., creative workshops are held where children can make crafts using different materials and take their creations home with them. Visitors should also know that ALEJA SKY is accessible on weekends, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering more opportunities for leisure and shopping. The shopping center emphasizes its commitment to providing a variety of experiences, including more shopping options, culinary delights, and activities promoting physical movement. This approach aligns with the overall goal of creating a welcoming environment for all age groups and interests. The promotional efforts by ALEJA come amid a period of intense heat affecting much of Slovenia, prompting residents to seek indoor and shaded areas for respite. The combination of cooling amenities, cultural events, and family-friendly initiatives positions ALEJA as a popular choice for those looking to stay cool and engaged during the summer months.
