Housed in a restored late 19th-century building in the centre of Maribor, Narodni dom offers various contexts a wide range of performing arts activities, including theatre, dance and music. As an organiser, producer, and promoter, Narodni dom presents around 1,200 events each year. It hosts numerous concerts of everything from traditional to electronic and dance music and prepares various music series covering orchestral, chamber and jazz, as well as theatre events including comedy, children's theatre, and youth programmes.

Each summer Narodni dom runs Maribor's major international attraction Lent Festival, which draws more than 500,000 visitors annually. It also organises a range of other musical events and festivals, including the Folkart International Folklore Festival, Maribor and the Izzven Jazz Festival.

Narodni dom's activities in the field of dance are focused primarily on folkloric and ethnic dance, with numerous international performances presented each year within the festivals organised by Narodni dom.
