The Lent Festival transforms Maribor's riverbanks into a vibrant celebration of arts and culture each summer. For several weeks, the Drava River becomes the backdrop for dozens of concerts spanning genres from classical to rock, along with street performances, theater, and dance. Food stalls offer local specialties, and the atmosphere is festive day and night. The festival's open-air venues, including floating stages on the river, create a unique experience. It's one of Slovenia's largest cultural events, attracting visitors from all over.
