[[Kunigunda Festival of Young Cultures]] is a summer festival which takes place in the city of Velenje. As its name partly implies, the festival puts a special emphasis on the presentation and promotion of younger Slovenian artists, though it us also open to artists from abroad and of other generational strata. It brings an extremely varied programme that features current happenings in the field of non-commercial arts as well as events for children, various sports activities and some occasional mainstream-profiled acts. Due to its imaginative programming and its integration into the urban fabric of the city, Kunigunda is one of the better regional or "city" festivals in Slovenia. | [[Kunigunda Festival of Young Cultures]] is a summer festival which takes place in the city of Velenje.

The programme is conceptually wide and diverse, comprising music, visual arts, modern dance, theatre, puppetry, sculptural installations, documentary film and video screenings, literary evenings, new media art events, lectures and art auctions. The events are spaced all over the city, from its parks and streets (and even its lake) to the main stage in the city centre, the local skate park and the ''Pekarna'' exhibitions grounds (a venue created at the site of an abandoned industrial building in the course of a past festival edition). | The programme is conceptually wide and diverse, comprising music, visual arts, modern dance, theatre, puppetry, sculptural installations, documentary film and video screenings, literary evenings, new media art events, lectures and art auctions.
