Festivals in Slovenia
Disclaimer
As a result of the long-lasting COVID-19 health crisis (the epidemics declared in Slovenia from 12 March to 31 May 2020 and from 18 October 2020 up to 15 June 2021), the dates of festivals may have shifted in 2020 and 2021. While we do our best to follow the latest developments, please always check with the producers to confirm the dates.
About the infographic
The interactive calendar includes the festivals from the the Culture.si database, arranged by weeks. The annual festivalscapes have been provided since 2012. In the upper left corner, you can select a year to get the relevant annual calendar.
By clicking on a certain box, you get the basic data of the selected festival in the upper left corner. You can also select an artistic field (dance festivals, literature festivals, etc.) by clicking on the menu under the chart.
The numbers of the covered festivals (in parentheses) are subject to change. We invite festival organisers to send us the missing dates for their festival (culture@ljudmila.org).
Infografika je dostopna tudi v slovenščini
Background
Based on an idea by Jana Wilcoxen the infographic was developed by Jure Čuhalev and the Culture.si team at the Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory in 2011.
The festivals timeline since 1946
You can complement the above infographic with the timeline of festivals, which reveals the dynamics of establishing new festivals in Slovenia (since 1946).
