Every Autumn since 1966, various Slovene theatres have met in Maribor at the Borštnikovo srečanje (Borštnik Meeting). The festival is named after Ignacij Borštnik, founder of the Slovene artistic theatre. He was the first Slovene theatre director in the modern sense of the word, and a master craftsman of the most demanding roles, especially from turn-of-the-century modernist realism. | Every Autumn since 1966, various Slovene theatres have met in Maribor at the Borštnikovo srečanje (Borštnik Meeting).

This most prestigious event is the largest annual review of Slovene theatre and theatre performances. In addition to repertory theatres from Maribor, Ljubljana, Nova gorica, Celje, Kranj, Koper and Trst, selected independent theatre productions are also presented.
The Meeting also includes awards for best show, director, actor, musical score and other artistic categories, plus the Borštnik Ring Award, the highest award for lifetime achievement in Slovene theatre, which is given to an actor or actress who has left a major legacy to the Slovene stage.
Various exhibitions of theatre photographs and stage set drawings and performances by secondary school theatre groups accompany the event.
