The summer programme of Imago Sloveniae will traditionally be rounded off by the Nights in Ljubljana Old Town festival – the largest international street festival of ethno and jazz music in the capital.

The festival, centred on high-quality music across genres such as ethno, jazz, chanson, world music, and classical, offers a comprehensive showcase of contemporary music creation and reinterpretation within these styles.

The programme features leading international and Slovenian artists, with a special focus on emerging young talent and modern musical productions.
