Maribor is a candidate to become the European Capital of Culture in the year 2012. The City is not famous only of its Festival Lent, one of the biggest festivals in Europe, with more than 400 performances and half a million of visitors; but also of many other festivals, which yearly attract more than 700,000 spectators.

Maribor has certainly a lot to offer to all the participants of the 25th Winter Universiade. And it will! The Organising Committee in close co-operation with the Municipality department and the Student Organisation of Maribor will organise rich cultural programme with concerts and shows, something that the participants will never forget.
