Lots is happening in Ljubljana these days. There is the Trnfest festival in Trnovo part Ljubljana with a bunch of daily evening events (ending on the 1st of September). We went there for a stand-up comedy evening, but there were too many people there and we couldn't hear the comedians, so we quickly went on.
Then there is the sixth annual festival Sanje in the center of Ljubljana, dedicated to poetry and music with events at the Zvezda park, Pločnik coffee shop and other places in Ljubljana and around (ending on 31st of August). The picture is from Festival sanje, the concert of the group Ankaran. They were playing old songs of Frane Milčinski - Ježek and it was nice and relaxing to listen to them for a while.
And there is the "Dipping of the cheating bread baker" every (?) Saturday at 10:30 on Šuštarski bridge, where they symbolically reproduce the event, that was considered punishment for bakers whose loafs where lighter than claimed. Didn't see that one yet, but I will keep it in mind and hopefully do that sometime.

You have also forgotten the annual international festival of theatre and dance - Mladi levi
(http://www.bunkerproductions.org/e_mladilevi.htm) which will be held in Ljubljana from August 17th till August 27th. The Medana 2007 11th Festival "Days of Poetry and Wine" (http://www.medana.org/) started on 21 of August - it started with a tour around Slovenia by readings in the open in selected venues (including Ljubljana). The Festival is not held in Ljubljana though but in Goriška Brda region.
