While the last events of the Bled Festival are still taking place in the Bled Festival Hall, the construction of the venue for a set of events we have named the Bled Summer on the Lakeside Promenade is already underway on the Promenade.

This year is a special year, as we are celebrating 60 years of "Slovenska popevka" (Slovenian song). It started in 1962 in Bled, the first winner was Mandolina performed by Stane Mancini.

Bled will pay tribute to Slovenian pop with a three-week event on the stage below the Festival Hall. The highlights of the event will definitely be the performance of the two festival orchestras, the Police Orchestra with Anika Horvat, and the Tolmin Jazz Punt Big Band with guests, which will pay tribute to Mojmir Sepe.


Lights on the lake

For 50 years, local resident Andrej Vidic has been preparing the eggshells that light up the lake every year on Bled Night. This year there will be 15,000 of them, and the shells have been donated by Conditus, the company that makes the Bled kremšnita.

This year, the lights will be lit on Saturday, 23 July.

This year, the stage will be located just below the Festival Hall, which will be a backup venue in case of rain, so there will be no cancellations or postponements.
