20 YEARS OF LENT IN 1 DATABASE

The website of Narodni dom Maribor now grants you free access to Festival Lent database of events that were organized from 1993 to now.
Based on the data that was collected and edited by the 20th anniversary of our festival, we were able to create an online app "FESTIVAL LENT FROM 1993 TO NOW" that allows users to access 5.599 records of past concerts and events.

Our mission was to create a database that would be helpful to the organizers of the festival as well as a source of information for potential musicological, historical, cultural and other studies.

We gathered information from Narodni dom Maribor’s archives, numerous files about our festival, announcements and reviews in Večer newspaper and information from other media.

We will continue updating the database and analyzing the information about events. To be able to improve it, we encourage everyone that can provide us with missing information to contact us at info@remove-this.festival-lent.si. Your suggestions will be verified and the corrections will be entered into the database. Bringing potential mistakes to our attention will also be appreciated.
