Avsenik Festival was launched in 2008 as a way to commemorate the 55 years anniversary of the legendary Avsenik Ensemble. It is held on a somewhat sporadic basis in Begunje, where the founder of the ensemble Slavko Avsenik (1929–2015) was born and where in recent years he and his family have established a diverse enterprise featuring a music school, a gallery, a publishing house, a museum with a shop and also a restaurant with regular concert evenings.

The festival takes place under a marquee at a nearby meadow and in three days (five in 2008) presents an international line-up of about 30 ensembles who offer their takes on either the music of the Avsenik Ensemble or on the music which they've pioneered into the world.

Programme

Some of the foreign bands and the musicians that were invited to the festival are Edith Prock (DE), Kurt und seine Oberkrainer (AU), Denis Novato (IT), Schwarzwald krainer (DE), Lucienne Lončina (GB), Oesch's die Dritten (CH), Marko Manin (IT), Die Mooskirchner (AU), Hubi (DE), Die neuen Oberkreiner (NL), Die Lustigen 5 (D), etc. These foreign bands all line up during the first day, with the local ones taking the stage on the next two days.

Of the local ones performers, one could name Jožica Kališnik, Jožica Svete in Alfi Nipič (all of them used to sing in the Avsenik Ensemble), Toti Big Band, Perpetuum Jazzile, Oto Pestner in Pro Anima, Slovenski oktet and also the many members of the Avsenik family.
