On Friday, June 3, the Mega-day will be just one night away. Let’s spend the evening before so anxiously awaited day together at a Community Celebration Event from 18.00 to 21.00 on the terrace of Tivoli Castle. It sits at the end of a long promenade that starts in the heart and terminates in the lungs of the city. From the Triple Bridge, it leads you past the National and Modern Galleries in almost a straight line (assuming that the Jakopič underpass will be open again by then) to the foot of Rožnik Hill.

Tivoli is the largest park and most beautiful park in Ljubljana that stretches right into the city centre. It was designed in 1813 when Ljubljana was the capital of French Illyrian Provinces and was named Tivoli in the second half of the 19th century. Several notable buildings and works of art are part of the park. With Rožnik Hill above it, the park has been protected as Tivoli–Rožnik Hill–Šiška Hill Nature Park since 1984. Scenic Jakopič Promenade, stretching from the castle to the underpass at the Modern Gallery, was designed by the architect Jože Plečnik. It has become a popular outdoor venue for exhibitions of large-format photographs, open throughout the year.

The castle itself was built in 17th century atop the ruins of older structures. It was renovated in Neoclassicist style in mid 19th century by the Austrian field marshall Joseph Radetzky (of the Strauss Radetzky March fame), who received it as a gift from Austrian Emperor. Today, it is the home of the International Centre of Graphic Arts.
