The park overlooks Vista from a large or small stage, and there is always something going on, and the entire complex is designed to invite you to a variety of mass or small events.
Events that converge on the lake’s shore
Vista’s distinctively designed private space adds a new dimension to events by being open on both land and lake and offering a variety of happenings in both directions. Concerts and cultural events, sports, social and educational events, and festival events are just a few examples. Choose based on your preferences.
A stage designed specifically for spectacular events
The entire Vista Park complex has just over 46,000 m² of landscaped space, which can accommodate events with up to 30,000 visitors. The event stage is extremely large, measuring up to 2,300 m². This is one of Slovenia’s largest stage areas, and it also provides excellent technical support for the execution of large and demanding events. For events with fewer attendees, a smaller stage is also available.
Architect inspired by the dragon legend
The mysterious image of the dragon Pozo inspired the architectural design of the event space with a viewing platform. Legend has it that he lived in Lake Velenje in ancient times, but he allegedly hatched beneath the Kozjak hill, breaking through the rock, and through this opening, water is said to have filled the Šaleška Valley. Lake Velenje has a history dating back more than 2.5 million years, stretching to a swampy valley with a lush forest, from which the famous lignite – coal mined by Velenje miners – was formed.
