Programme
Lent Festival is much more than just a series of events offered at the beginning of summer. It hosts four concurrent festivals, each offering visitors unique and unforgettable experiences. It is no wonder that Lent Festival is the county's largest festival! Everything from folk art to jazz music, street theatre to creativity, and more, is combined within this festival of festivals: Folkart, the International Folklore Festival (one of the most prominent and renowned folklore festivals in Europe and worldwide), Jazzlent and Jazz Podium (featuring popular foreign and Slovenian jazz and jazz-related musicians), Street Theatre Ana Desetnica (a playful street theatre festival, bringing life to city streets and squares) and Art Camp (providing the most popular daily events of the festival for younger generations and families in the city park, brimming with creativity, culture, recreation, mingling, and a joyful atmosphere).
Who's been here? Music giants and legends such as B.B. King, James Brown, Ray Charles, and Stephane Grapelli, alongside an array of internationally acclaimed artists including Macy Gray, Mercedes Sosa, Paquito D'Rivera, Bob Geldof, Dr. John, Jose Feliciano, Lester Bowie, David Byrne, Maynard Ferguson, Taj Mahal, Alfredo De La Fé, Alfredo Rodriguez, Malia, Eric Burdon & The Animals, Living Colour, Maceo Parker, Femi Anikulapo Kuti, and many more, have graced the festival with their presence.
Venues
More than twenty festival venues, stretching from the banks of the Drava River to the City Park, are only a few minutes' walk away.
