The Festival of the Third Age is the largest event for the elderly in Europe, created on the occasion of the International Day of Older Persons (1999) on the initiative of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia. In 2024, it marks the 23rd anniversary of its existence, when it will open the doors of the cultural and congress centre Cankarjev dom free of charge for visitors for three days more preciselly from 30 September to 2 October 2024. From the very beginning, the Festival has been dedicated to active ageing, improving the quality of life of older people and realising solidarity between generations – which is why the entire programme takes place under the slogan We are all one generation!
Ljubljana je mesto vseh in za vse
Na Mestni občini Ljubljana vsako leto z veseljem sodelujemo na Festivalu za tretje življenjsko obdobje. Ponosen sem, da skupaj vedno pripravimo izvrsten program za obiskovalce in da je naš predstavitveni prostor med najbolj priljubljenimi. Naše aktivnosti bomo tudi na podlagi odzivov in predlogov obiskovalcev festivala v prihodnje še nadgrajevali in dopolnjevali.
