The Burning Man, La Tomatina, and Mardi Gras are popular destinations that attract hordes of tourists from all over the world. Come, visit equally popular events in Slovenia. The Slovenia festivals appeal to those who love theatre, music, culture, and visual arts. Some of the much-loved festivals are based on religion, like the Lent Festival at Maribor or Kurentovanje – International Carnival in Ptuj.
Lent Festival is an outdoor event that takes places for a month and a half in March and April and showcases theatre, ballet, opera, and other such performances. While the carnival is akin to Mardi Gras, in Ptuj it is an event to usher in spring and is based on folklore character, Kurent. This character rings the bell around his neck to ward off winter. Here too, performances mark the occasion. These are the two important events in Slovenia, but there are tons of festivals for the family, theatre lovers, art aficionado, and handicraft collectors.
In August at Ljubljana, artists and amateur artists come together to perform theatre and dance. It is a 10-day event that interests people who love theatre and live performances.
Any self-respecting Slovenia restaurant stocks good wines. The locals love their wine and commemorate it, every year. Wine makers, traders, wine growers, and connoisseurs come together for the Slovenian Wine Festival.
It is a theatre festival like no other. On the streets of Ljubljana, in summer, mimes, magicians, dancers, and theatre groups put up productions for the love of theatre.
Slovenia’s art and theatre are true inspiration for actors from different countries. If you love live performances, then this is the country to visit. SOTC offers deals and packages so you can get your dose of culture and get inspired in Slovenia.
