Floating Castle Festival on a smaller scale and with a new location, the central event in Ljubljana

The floating city festival, known as 'Plavajoči grad,' has undergone a conceptual change this year, moving from Grad Snežnik to Istrian villages of Truške and Kubed. The event will take place in a smaller format at a new location in Slovenian Istria, featuring 75 musicians from 22 countries. The central event of the summer program includes an international orchestra called Etno Histeria, which creates its entire repertoire without sheet music within five days. This year's highlight is a performance titled 'Requiem for Sara' in Ljubljana, where the orchestra will play on two boats drifting along the river between Zmajski Bridge and Trnovsko Nabrežje. The event honors Sara, a Palestinian girl who previously collaborated with the orchestra but later lost her life in Gaza. The festival also collaborates with artists from Gaza through the Global Art Mobilization collective, aiming to break cultural barriers and build bridges between people.
