Rudi Potepuški

The Rudi Potepuški Street Arts Festival, taking place on 2–3 July 2026, will once again enrich the summer programme in the Main Square of Novo Mesto. Organised by Goga Publishing House in cooperation with Ana Desetnica, the popular festival has for many years brought together visitors of all generations through street theatre, circus performances, clowning, music and other forms of contemporary street art.

Over the course of two festival days, local and international artists will perform in the Main Square, delighting audiences with laughter, surprises and memorable experiences. A special part of the programme includes free circus workshops for children and anyone interested in trying out circus skills.

The festival brings creativity, socialising and a relaxed summer atmosphere to the heart of the city, inviting visitors of all ages to experience the magic of street arts together.

Admission to all events is free of charge.
