 Velenje

Lots of fun and plenty of red-haired, freckled characters and squirrel monkeys are the main features of the biggest children's festival in the country, named after the literary heroine Pippi Longstocking.

The festival will see more than 80 events at multiple venues across Velenje, from concerts to theatre, puppet and clown shows, workshops and more.

This year's theme, Painting the World Green, will let the children explore life in the rhythm of Mother Earth, without modern technology. They will go looking for the treasures of nature, nurture her and let her grow weeds-free.

During the festival, which is being held for the 35th year, many city exhibition venues and the Pippi's cinema will be open. Details and programme are available here (in Slovenian only).
