September on Poljanska Street brings a whole new vibe. The road shuts down to traffic, and shops and cafés take over the pavement with colorful stalls and tasty treats, turning the street into a buzzing urban festival—that’s the signature event of the creative Poljane district.

During the day, kids get hands-on in creative workshops while adults dive into smart conversations like the “Philosophical Armchair.” As the sun sets, the street transforms into an open-air stage, with music floating through the air from local artists—everyone from Jana Šušteršič to Klemen Slakonja and others.
