Trnje Festival is an annual two-day festival which takes place some time in July in a clearing surrounded by the pine forest in Trnje village near Pivka (Postojna). It is a festival of alternative and unconventional music of many musical genres featuring unknown music bands which present new initiatives against the trends of consumerism. The first festival took place in 1998 and since then it has gained a notable status among alternative summer festivals that are affordable yet offer a rich and diverse musical programme. The organisers like to refer to Trnje Festival as "a festival for those who cannot afford to go to the seaside". It is organised by a joint team from Postojna Youth Centre and Pivka House of Culture.
