Can you imagine anything more pleasant than listening to a concert under the starry summer sky? Do you feel excited about a classical concert in a 400 year old synagogue? What about some jazz rhythms? Maybe a performance on the floating stage on the river Drava will attract your attention. Why don’t you just take a nice walk along the picturesque streets of Maribor?
All this and a lot more makes up Festival Lent, changing the banks of the river Drava into a lively cultural and sociable centre, beating with all kinds of rhythms.
We believe that this year's festival will for the fifteen time attract a lot of visitors, especially because of its top-quality program. So why not start this year's summer with “Festival Lent”?
A variety of more than 400 performances and half a million of visitors make “Festival Lent” one of the biggest festivals in Europe, moreover it is also known across the pond in America. This multicultural festival that has its origin in the folklore festival “Folkart” has received several awards, among them 32 awards from The International Festival and Events Association (IFEA).
Festival Lent is ranking among the Top 50 of Europe's Best Local Festivities!
Expect a variety of concerts of classical, jazz, popular and ethno music, evenings with singers-songwriters, chanson evenings, theatre and dance performances, drama and puppet theatres, creative workshops for children, sport performances and much more. Commencing on 22th June, it continues up to 7th July 2007 on 23 locations and stages. The International Folklore Festival Folkart, the Festival “Jazzlent” and the Street Theatre Festival will also take place within Festival Lent.
