Once again, it’s time for the winemakers of the Little Carpathians to invite us into their cellars. There, you can enjoy not only this year’s young wines, but also those that have been maturing in barrels for several months. More than 120 cellars of small winemakers and large wine producers from Bratislava to Trnava will be open. Good wine goes hand in hand with tasty food, which will not be missing this year either. In addition to wine, a cultural program will also ensure a great atmosphere. The entrance fee is 50 €, and the package includes not only tastings in the cellars, but also a 25 € bonus for wine purchases, a tasting glass, a glass bag, an orientation map, and a nice surprise.
The 16th edition of this wonderful European event, which presents theater in a creative way in an unconventional time frame every year, can also be enjoyed in Slovakia. Theatre Night 2025 is themed “This moment belongs to us,” so during the night you can explore, discover, get involved in the action, or just sit back, relax, and let yourself be carried away by the theatre all night long. This year, the doors of Slovak theaters will remain open longer than usual. And you have the chance to see a performance by your favorite troupe. And there will be plenty of them, with more than 80 theaters, cultural institutions, centers, and art schools in 30 cities and towns across Slovakia participating this year.
A timeless classic that continues to attract audiences with its immortal hits even after all these years. This time, fans of this Swedish band can look forward to an exceptional show featuring four outstanding vocal soloists, an accompanying band, and a symphony orchestra. More than forty artists will take to the stage. The arrangements of well-known songs have both symphonic and rock elements.
How about trying something new? Traditional Pilates exercises combined with electronic music, especially techno or deep house. Join us and enjoy an upgraded techno Pilates experience in a brand new space with more than 200 smart lights and extensive LED installations that change the space according to the rhythm.
In November, you can look forward to another popular festival, especially among the residents of Ružinov. The Ružinov Folklore Festival is back after a year and will once again offer traditional Slovak folk songs and dances. Several folklore ensembles from all over Slovakia will perform, such as DFS Kremienok, FS Karpaty, Skaličan, Balážovci, and DFS Malinky. The festival will also include a workshop on the theme of Ornament in Many Forms, creative workshops for children, and the sale of traditional products.
The most successful ice music show in Europe about the love between two sisters is coming to Slovakia. The musical show, which has already delighted more than half a million viewers in Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Greece, is now coming to us. So you too can experience the ice show of Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and their friends’ journey into a fairy-tale world. You can enjoy hits from Frozen 1 and Frozen 2 performed by experienced Slovak musical singers.
A popular festival that is perfect for this cold and dreary November weather. At the Old Market Hall, you can once again enjoy the aromas of the best coffees, teas, and delicious chocolate. There will also be accompanying events such as books and art, as well as workshops. With a ticket for 10 €, you will not only get exceptional tastings, but also a festival newspaper and a Coffee Tea Chocolate festival bag. And don’t forget, you can purchase beautiful handmade stoneware cups, which are available in a limited edition, with every ticket in advance sales.
The winter edition of the summer wine and music festival Wine Under the Stars is coming to the Old Market Hall again this year.

Please note that the ticket does not include a glass or wine tasting. However, wine glasses will be available for a refundable deposit of €5.
In November, you can also look forward to world-class drum & bass. Following the success of Sub Focus, Pulsation returns to Bratislava in collaboration with A4 Studio, this time with British producer Dimension. The atmosphere will be perfectly complemented by a unique audio-visual show, complete with large LED screens, lights, lasers, special effects, and top-notch sound. In addition to Dimension, Dutch megatalent Arcando and young talent Sota will also perform. The lineup will be completed by Austrian DJ Youphoria and Slovakian Kara and Yue.

Set aside the last Saturday in November for buying books or toys. The well-known YMCA building will host a book and toy exchange for children, complemented by the traditional book exchange of the Old Town Library. You can also look forward to a creative workshop by the Goethe-Institut and interactive themed readings for children by RC Prešporkovo. Don’t forget, the books and toys will be sold by children, so don’t forget to pack a blanket or table for them to lay out their goods and some small change for making change. Prices should be symbolic, with a recommended maximum price of 6 €.
