Bled days are those days when Bled is crowded with tourists. During the three days that they last, they come to see how the products of domestic and artistic crafts are made, and to listen to concerts on the promenade. Most of them, of course, gather on the traditional Bled night, when the lake 'glows up'. Bled Days 2017 will take place from July 21 to 23, and the cuisine at the event will be designed by Bled's local partners under the destination brand Okusi Bled.
