Locally organized events are held throughout the year - Bled Days and Nights in July, Okarina etno festival in August, The Circle of Friendship at Christmas...
There are many outdoor pursuit organizations for the adventurous visitors, as well as concerts and recitals for those who prefer less strenuous entertainment. A popular pastime, due to the aesthetic nature of Bled, is a walk or cycle around the lake.

Bled is an Alpine resort of breathtaking beauty, like a picture post card of a Disney wonderland. The vibrant town surrounds a crystal clear, spa lake, fed by the pure, green, melt water from the Julian Alps. In the summer the rivers are cool and the lakeside, supervised pools, are warm for bathing. In the winter it is crisp, dry and cold. Some winters the lake freezes and Bled is engulfed in snow. The snow capped Julian Alps are the background to this fairytale scenery. Slovenes are well known for our love of the outdoors and this is the perfect starting off point for days of fun, surrounded by the outstanding scenery of Triglav National Park.

Bled and its surroundings, are steeped in history from Roman times, to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Front Line in WW1, to Tito and the socialist Yugoslavia until 1991 when it gained independence and joined the European Union in 2004. The currency has changed from the Slovene Tolar to the Euro in 2007. It boasts 100% literacy and English is spoken by almost everyone.

Summer activities include swimming, white water rafting, walking, cycling, hiking, boat hire, canyoning, mountain biking, hunting, fishing (exceptional), hiking, ballooning, golf (championship course in Bled), skydiving, flying (Lesce 2km), etc.
Winter activities are equally diverse i.e. skiing, snow shoe walking, tubing, sledging, ice climbing, ski touring, skating (indoor Ice rink in Bled), etc.
There are several ski locations i.e. Bled (although Bled cannot really be described as a ski resort itself), Krvavec, Vogel, Kranjska Gora, Kobla, or Pokljuka Plateau. (all 30 min or less by car and also served by a daily bus service). Other Ski resorts in Italy and Austria can be accessed in less than 1 hours drive.
