Experience the summer festival sunshine with a glass of wine or a pint of beer, listen to poetry, travel back in time and dance with us. Are you a fan of fantastic films? Are you attracted to modern art? Thermal Pannonian Slovenia offers a wide variety of diverse events which can be paired with a spa getaway.
Festival summer in Ptuj
The oldest Slovenian town has a lot to offer in the summer. Don’t miss taking a journey back into history, to the era of Roman soldiers and the time of medieval lords. If you prefer to stay in the 21st century, you can enjoy the relaxed summer atmosphere with selected wine and poetry.
The Days of Poetry and Wine in Ptuj
The Days of Poetry and Wine are one of the most recognisable international poetry festivals in this part of Europe. It combines poetic and wine-making art, and every year in late August it offers visitors poetic, oenological, culinary, musical, visual, and many other experiences that bring the alleys of the medieval town of Ptuj to life.
If you are a beer lover, visit Laško in July, where the Beer and Flowers Festival (Pivo in cvetje) is held. Here, you can taste Slovenia’s most well-known beer brand, learn about the rich beer brewing tradition, and other special features of Laško which literally flourishes during the festivals. Due to a wide range of concerts and other events, you will not have time to be bored during the three days of the festival.
The festival is devoted to a specific film genre, horror and fantasy films, and it is held in the heart of the wine-growing Prlekija region, in Ljutomer, where Dr Karol Grossmann made the first Slovenian film in 1905. The main attraction of the festival is the film programme, but there is also plenty to do in addition to the festival – wine tastings, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, book presentations, and lectures.
The Seviqc Brežice Festival is considered synonymous with early music. Through various features of the programme, European and world music heritage is presented, whereby special attention is dedicated to the presentation of music originating in Slovenia. Every year, the festival's concert programme encompasses the musical heritage from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century.
Festival pulse of the youngest Slovenian city Velenje
Velenje is a young city. And you can feel the city’s youthful heart at the summer festivals for children, the young and the young at heart. Indulge in his youthful exuberance!
Jazzinty is a boutique summer international jazz festival with a long tradition, held every third week in August in the historical town centre of Novo Mesto. During the day, an international workshop is held, while the old town centre is filled with the sounds of live music in the afternoon and evening, creating a metropolitan atmosphere, showcasing new trends in jazz and improvisational music, and pulsing with creative energy.
Walk into summer in Rogaška Slatina. Enjoy a wide range of musical genres, something for everyone, at Ana's Festival. You can enjoy the sounds of popular musc at the Europe Square, sway to the rhythm of jazz and blues by the pavilion, and experience glamorous moments with classical music at the unique Crystal Hall of the Grand Hotel Rogaška, where the Ana's Ball takes place for charity every year.
Are you prepared for the cutting edge of contemporary dance? Experience it at the beginning of September in Murska Sobota, where dancers from all over the world gather. They tell their stories through movement, often weaving in critiques of current social developments. The festival is a kind of review of contemporary European dance production and a place for the exchange of experience. In addition to dance performances, the festival also features various workshops, seminars, films, discussions and talks with the artists.
