The Festival Hall, renowned as a space for inter-generational social events in Ljubljana, is housed in the structure built between 1936 and 1941 by Jože Plečnik originally to be part of the Baraga Theological Seminary. In 1956 architect Anton Bitenc rearranged the central part of the building for the use of Festival Hall within the complex called "Akademski kolegij" which today is also home to Mladinsko Theatre. Since 1963, the Pionirski dom Youth Culture Centre oversees the operations of the Festival Hall.

A monumental staircase, lined with massive pillars and decorative sculptures, leads to the large hall which hosts numerous national and international dance events, concerts, conferences, fashion shows, end of school dances, weddings, and other events every year. Interested organisations and individuals may rent the hall for various social and cultural events and workshops.
