Ana's Festival Rogaška Slatina, organised by the Rogaška Slatina Public Institute for Tourism and Culture and held for the first time in 2015, is an annual outdoor summer festival. It takes place at three locations in the spa town of Rogaška Slatina in eastern Slovenia: the European Platform (Evropska ploščad), the Tempel Pavilion and the arcades of Grand Hotel Rogaška. It is financed by the Municipality of Rogaška Slatina, with sponsorship and other support provided by a variety of organisations associated with the town's health tourism industry (Donat Mg mineral water, Rogaška Resort and the Rogaška Hotel Group) and by Rogaška Crystalworks, the town's famed glassware manufacturer. No charge is made for entry to events.
Aimed mainly at holiday-makers and the local population, Ana's festival features Slovenian (and to a lesser extent) international musical artists from the worlds of pop, blues, opera, folk and classical music. Rogaška Slatina Cultural Centre is also used to host events in the event of bad weather.
Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the festival did not take place in 2020.
Selected artists
Prominent domestic artists to have appeared at the festival include Bossa de Novo, Goran Bojčevski, Igor Leonardi, Alenka Godec, Teo Collori, Boštjan Gombač, Ana Vipotnik, Manouche, Tabu, New Swing Quartet, Janez Bončina Benč and Avtomobili. A leading role in events is usually also taken by Musica Camerata, the health resort's house orchestra.
