Cultural organisations that have organised free events in the past will make some of their events available online this year.

This Merry Day of Culture pays tribute and is dedicated to the memory of our greatest poet, Dr France Prešeren, an artist without whom Slovenian poetry simply cannot be imagined. Prešeren was the first poet to raise Slovenian to the level of artistic language, thus placing himself alongside the greatest European romantic poets.

This year’s celebration of This Merry Day of Culture will come to life on the websites and social media accounts of individual participating cultural organisations and on the shared website of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia at https://www.zvkds.si/sl/elkd/elkd-prireditve.
