Maribor's driving force for socially critical alternative culture
Standing as Maribor's sole independent cultural center, Pekarna has evolved into a vibrant hub for alternative culture and artistic development, particularly for the city's youth. Its robust program encompasses a diverse range of cultural, social, and athletic activities, fostering a dynamic and engaged community. Emerging from the remnants of a military supply warehouse, Pekarna has cultivated a tight-knit community that champions socially critical thought, empowers emerging artists and musicians, and pulsates with the rhythm of Maribor's alternative scene.
Explore the colorful spaces within Pekarna: from Hladilnica, Garaža, and Supernova with event, club, and exhibition spaces to the MC venue for events and concerts. Take a stroll to Lubadar, which houses a bookshop, studios, rehearsal spaces for bands, and a climbing wall. Gustaf is the home of musical, audiovisual, and interdisciplinary activities, and the popular Hostel Pekarna is located in the administrative building.
