The Programme for the 19th Dolphin Day Has Been Announced

Morigenos – Slovenian Marine Mammal Society is pleased to announce the official programme for this year’s 19th Dolphin Day, which will take place on Saturday, 4 July 2026, at 2:00 PM in Piran.
This year’s event carries special significance, as Morigenos celebrates the 25th anniversary of its work. A quarter century of research, education, and active marine conservation will be marked together with those who give our work its true meaning – you.
“My, Your, Our Dolphins”
The story of Dolphin Day began back in 2006, when we organised the very first event of its kind in Slovenia. At that time, we presented to the public the first comprehensive scientific evidence that the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is not merely an occasional visitor to our sea, but a resident species. The slogan born then – “My, Your, Our Dolphins” – emphasising that dolphins are part of a shared natural heritage for which we are all responsible, continues to guide us today.
What does this year’s programme offer?
The event remains true to our mission: to present the importance of dolphin research to the public in an engaging, accessible, and informative way. We have prepared a diverse programme for all generations, including:
  • hands-on and creative workshops,
  • a live demonstration of dolphin searching from land,
  • a treasure hunt,
  • guided tours of the Dolphin Centre,
  • a panoramic boat trip,
  • and much more.
Dolphin Day is a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time by the sea, gain new knowledge, and directly support the work of our society. We warmly invite you to reserve the first Saturday in July for a shared celebration of life in the blue.
Notice regarding the boat trip: capacity is limited. The activity is not intended for organised groups, and reservations are not possible.
The patron of Dolphin Day is the Municipality of Piran. The event sponsor is Luka Koper.
