The first Ljubljana Poetry Marathon

On the occasion of World Poetry Day, which is celebrated on 21 March, the first Ljubljana Poetry Marathon will be held at several locations in the city.

Already in 2010, Ljubljana held the title World Book Capital, and since 2015 it has been a proud holder of the title of UNESCO City of Literature and a member of the UNESCO Network of Creative Cities. The program will start at Vodnik's Homestead in Šiška and will continue throughout the day at various locations around the city.

World Puppet Day also falls on 21 March, and it will be celebrated at the Ljubljana Castle. Namely, since 2015, Ljubljana Castle has accommodated the first Puppet Museum, where the oldest Slovenian puppets are held.
