Sixteen international teams compete over a two-day elimination tournament while crowds watch from the riverbanks and the adjacent Novi trg.

The festival capitalizes on the Ljubljanica River’s cultural importance to Ljubljana, treating it as an enchanted space (themed "Magic Ljubljanica"). It brings together sport with Slovenian cultural elements, including performances like acro-yoga and a dance piece about the mythical "Water Man," and highlights local cuisine with top chefs 1.
