Formally organised since 1998 by the Ana Monró Theatre, the Ana Desetnica International Street Theatre Festival is the biggest festival of street theatre and improvisation arts in Slovenia. Annually held in late June-early July in over 10 cities across Slovenia, the festival offers different street art genres and other performances by renowned and emerging practitioners. Ana Monró Theatre also organises two further festivals, the autumn Ana Plamenita and the winter Ana Mraz festivals.
The year 2026 marks the centenary of the deaths of two significant Slovenian writers: the writer and women' s rights advocate Zofka Kveder (1878–1926) and the Slovenian poet Srečko Kosovel (1904–1926). To commemorate these anniversaries, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia has officially declared 2026 the year of the two writers.
Turjak Castle is located in the village of the same name approximately 20 kilometers from Ljubljana. It was first mentioned in written records in 1220 but was probably built even earlier, in the 10th or 11th century. It acquired its present-time appearance after an earthquake in 1511. It features the largest round bastion in Slovenia and a distinctive Renaissance defensive corridor in the shape of a triangle. The castle underwent a major renovation, initiated by the Ministry of Culture, between 2024 and 2026.
