Living Courtyards are a unique part of the festival program, seeking their place not in the busy streets and squares, but in the hidden courtyards of the city. These venues are quiet, intimate, and removed from the urban hustle, yet full of life – from laughter, stories, and new friendships to dance, music, and spontaneous moments. Each courtyard invites exploration, offering a space for connection, creativity, and cultural enjoyment in a completely different way.

We are proud that these special courtyards, under the careful production of the House! Society and in close collaboration with residents, have grown into a year-round program that revitalizes the hidden corners of Maribor, transforming them into cultural and creative hubs that invite visitors to connect with the city on a deeper level.
