The largest multicultural and multi-genre summer festival in this part of Europe is an incredible experience of culture and socializing, hospitality and cuisine, top artists and entertainment. The whole city becomes a stage and invites you to blend in with the atmosphere.

The story of the Lent Festival is the story of evenings that smell like summer and invite you to socialize, to get out, under the starry sky, among colourful lights, sounds, rhythms. 

The Lent Festival is the largest Slovenian open-air festival and one of the largest in Europe.

For more than a quarter of a century, at the beginning of summer, Maribor has been transformed into a gigantic stage and a lively junction of artistic expressions, cultures and languages from around the world. Every year it welcomes visitors from all over the world and almost every fourth Slovene has visited it at least once.
