Living courtyards are opening their doors once again at this year’s Lent Festival. Throughout the five days of the Program, we’ll be hosting a wide variety of events. When the city’s courtyards open up, new stories come to life. We invite you to join us in bringing them to life.

We invite you to join us for a relaxed Saturday morning in the courtyard of the Maribor Cultural Incubator. 

Join us for an event where we’ll create a greener, livelier space together through food, dialogue, and plant swapping.

Many of our projects are built on community collaboration and this is where facilitation plays a key role. While the term may not be familiar to everyone, it refers to an approach that enables people to connect, collaborate, and co-create spaces together. Below, we explore what facilitation is and why it matters.

We’re looking for the greenest, most unusual, unique, or beautiful green space in the city! 

Is it your balcony, garden, backyard, park, or a hidden spot? Share it with us. 

Prize: 1 tree sapling, specially selected to suit the winner’s environment.

While the global temperature rose by approximately 0.8 degrees Celsius between 1980 and 2021, Slovenia recorded an average temperature increase of 2.4 degrees Celsius – and as much as 3.3 degrees Celsius during the summer months. According to projections, atmospheric warming will continue.

Children’s, youth, and adult choirs! We invite you to join us for the festive 11th Maribor Carol Singing, which will take place this year on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, in the historic city center of Maribor.
