Dagon's fest

Daily Events: Saturday 7. 9. 2019

07. Sep from 11:00, Ljubljana Castle

Saturday’s events will get underway with the spectacular Dance of the Chinese Lion, which the Chinese believe drives away evil spirits and brings happiness and prosperity. This will be followed by a dynamic event with no shortage of good music and dance. We will witness a performance of the masters from the Shaolin Temple and many other performances, as well as the Dance of the Chinese Lion and more. When twilight falls, there will be a special treat: a dance of witches at the full moon like you have never witnessed before. The main dessert for all lovers of good music will take place in the evening, with a concert by the Wacky Blues Professors & Elvis Jackson in the Castle Courtyard.
