Get ready to be amazed! On November 27th, we turned Maribor into a winter wonderland and kicked off the holiday season with over 200 events and a ton of festive lights. Be sure to check out the beautifully decorated city Christmas trees, and the magical threads that symbolically connect us all.
Magical Advent in Maribor
From free open air concerts to the Children's Advent
At Trg Leona Štuklja Square, the festive atmosphere will once again come to life this year. Numerous free concerts will warm December evenings and accompany the New Year’s Eve celebrations in the heart of the city.
At the Glavni Trg Square, the Christmas Village will shine – a blend of festive lights, the aroma of local treats, and stalls offering unique gifts. The Giant Ferris Wheel will take you above the festive city, revealing a magical panorama of illuminated streets and Maribor’s winter scenery.
Magical photo spots will invite you to capture your holiday moments, while the Vilinsko mesto (Fairy City) will open its doors wide to imagination, creativity, and the sparkling smiles of children.
Among this year’s novelties is the Path of Kisses – a romantic route through the city centre, inviting you to festive steps of togetherness.
