I am filled with pride at hosting an event that brings entertainment and joy to appreciative audiences on summer evenings. We can each find a place where we feel content, gathering or recalling pleasant memories of Bled.
It gives me great pleasure to say that the festival organizers, who have been working on this event for so many years, were have this year been nominated for, and awarded, the Municipality of Bled Plaque.
Finally, I would like to thank the festival supporters for keeping the cultural tradition alive, and wish all visitors an enjoyable musical experience.

Apart from managing the cultural monument of Bled Castle and the Festival Hall, the mission of the Bled Culture Institute is to support cultural projects within the Municipality, among which with Festival Bled as an event of superior quality has always held a special place.
We wish Festival Bled would remain a permanent fixture in the minds of local people and tourists alike and continue to liven up July evenings in Bled with musical events for all tastes, and more.
Festival Bled never fails to amaze and impress – and I am certain that it will live up to its reputation also this year.
