Festivals in Slovenia

DISCLAIMER: As a result of the long lasting health crisis (the epidemic declared in Slovenia from 12 March to 31 May 2020 and from 18 October 2020 up to 15 June 2021), the final dates could be shifted. Please always check with the producers to confirm the dates.

2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024

The printed version of the calendar of Festivals in Slovenia in 2012 contains 141 festivals. Later on, in 2019, the festival number rose to 199. Check out the current annual festivalscape!

Since 2012, the annual festivalscapes are provided as an infographic, conceived by the Culture.si team at the Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory. The interactive calendars include the festivals from the Culture.si database arranged by weeks and by field. You can see specific types of festivals, e.g., music festivals only, by clicking on the corresponding artistic field. Take a look at the Festivals in Slovenia infographic.

You can complement the infographic with the timeline of festivals, which reveals the dynamics of establishing new festivals in Slovenia (since 1946).

Festival organisers, we kindly invite you to send us any missing information.

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
