The lively throb of entertainment can be found in Maribor and often also in the surrounding towns, on Pohorje, in the countryside of wine growing hills and on the river Drava.

There is a line-up of diverse entertainment and cultural events, ethnological events, international sporting events, events for young people, children's events and top festivals and events ranging from Festival Lent, the Old Vine Festival, the Golden Fox, Borštnik theatre festival, Festival Maribor to the Festival of St. Martin’s as well as numerous others.

Being excellent organisers and hospitable hosts Mariborians will soon be the bearers of two major world-class events:

•    Maribor, European Capital of Culture in 2012, and
•    Maribor, host of the 26. Winter Universiade 2013.
