These questions will be explored in conversation with Novo Mesto historians Mitja Sadek and Matjaž Štih. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent webpage \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS \nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians.

SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Festival: Ana Pupedan
DESCRIPTION:From legendary stories to the new wave – welcome to the Novo Mesto Summer Festival\, taking place in Novo Mesto from 19 June to 28 August 2026. \nThis year once again\, the Novo Mesto Summer Festival brings seven evenings of music\, social gatherings and summer atmosphere across three carefully selected venues surrounding the town centre. The central theme of this year’s edition is the Slovenian music scene – artists and bands that have been shaping the rich musical landscape of Novo Mesto and Slovenia for decades\, alongside a younger generation of musicians proudly and successfully carrying this legacy forward. The new Novo Mesto wave is singing louder than ever before. \nThe festival will open with an evening of nostalgia and a tribute to Novo Mesto’s musical history\, as well as the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Rock Otočec festival. Performances will feature Slon in Cvet je v jeseni and Generacija Rudolfovo with selected guest artists\, who will also perform songs by the legendary Novo Mesto band. The evening will also include a preview of an exhibition dedicated to Rock Otočec. \nThe programme will continue with concerts by the contemporary folk ensemble Bakalina Velika\, the Janez Dovč Sounds of Slovenia Quartet with modern arrangements of Slovenian folk songs\, local emerging acts Plateau and Martina ET AL. as part of the biennial Festival of New Novo Mesto Music\, the ethno-rock band Ana Pupedan from Pivka\, a performance by the timeless Avtomobili featuring Marko and Mirko Vuksanović\, and the closing concert by Bort Ross and Nomadi with guests\, bringing the festival to an end in their distinctive melodic style. \nAll events\, with the exception of the final concert at the Museum Gardens\, are free of charge. Voluntary contributions in support of the festival will be warmly appreciated. \nPROGRAMME\nFriday\, 19 June 2026\, 9.00 pm – Museum GardensSlon in Cvet je v jeseni with guestsGeneracija Rudolfovo \nWednesday\, 8 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Growing Book ParkBakalina Velika \nWednesday\, 15 July 2026\, 8.00 pm – Growing Book ParkSounds of Slovenia Quartet \nFriday\, 24 July 2026\, 9.00 pm – Main SquarePlateau\, Martina ET AL.Festival of New Novo Mesto Music \nSaturday\, 1 August 2026\, 9.00 pm – Main SquareAna Pupedan \nWednesday\, 12 August 2026\, 8.00 pm – Growing Book ParkAvtomobili DuoMarko & Mirko Vuksanović \nFriday\, 28 August 2026\, 8.30 pm – Museum GardensBort Ross and Nomadi with guests \nThe Museum Gardens\, Growing Book Park and the Main Square will once again host evenings where ethno\, rock\, singer-songwriter music\, alternative pop\, acoustic performances and contemporary interpretations of folk heritage intertwine. \nThe Novo Mesto Summer Festival remains a space for encounters\, new musical stories and connections between generations of artists\, proving that Slovenian music is still alive\, powerful\, sincere and almost heavenly – like in the days when the Krka River lay by its left and right foot\, and we always found our way back home – to Novo Mesto. \nEvent website.

SUMMARY:Novo Mesto Summer Evenings: The Little Mirror
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Novo Mesto Summer Evenings festival\, Goga Publishing House invites you to a puppet performance for children entitled The Little Mirror\, taking place on Saturday\, 8 August 2026\, at 10.00 am. \nTHE LITTLE MIRROR; LG NEBO / PUPPET PERFORMANCE \nA “wooden story” about forest animals. \nIn a forest clearing\, a rabbit finds a little mirror and sees his own reflection in it. Delighted to have found “his picture”\, he shows it to the other animals\, but each of them insists that the image belongs to them. Finally\, the bear takes the picture to his family\, and they all recognise the head of a bear in it. \nSince\, alongside animals and plants\, wood is the greatest treasure of forests\, the puppets are made of wood. The overall impression is enhanced by music performed mainly on wooden instruments. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent webpage \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS \nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians.

Through her poetry collection A Single Bloom in the Dark\, which was recently published for the first time in Slovenian translation\, we will explore contemporary Chinese poetry and the journeys poems take as they move between languages\, cultures and continents. \nThe poet will be joined on stage by Chinese-to-Slovenian translator Katja Kolšek\, who will speak about the challenges and joys of translating poetry. The evening will be hosted by Klavdija Kotar. \nThe event will take place at the festival venue in the Main Square\, in front of Goga Bookshop. \nEvent webpage \nNOVO MESTO SUMMER EVENINGS \nThroughout July and August\, Novo Mesto welcomes some of Slovenia’s leading writers\, poets and musicians.
