of the 55th Folklore festival Východná

amphitheatre area, chosen areas the township Východná,
in Liptovský Mikuláš
The 2009 Východná Folklore Festival offers folk art programmes from beneath the majestic peak of Kriváň in the High Tatras. It represents a symbiosis between beautiful natural surroundings and human pheno-menon expressed through lyrical productions, celebratory or balld song texts, melodies, expressive dances, music and folk costumes rich in colour, traditional rites and customs, and of course, through the entertaining skills of folk crafft masters...
Every year, the Folklore Festival welcomes tens of thousands of children and adults who come to see and experience the exceptional beauty again. This is the beauty that rejuvenates both the mind and the soul; a fragile beauty that spontaneously inscripes and offers new strength and which reinforces one´s own feeling of pride, dignity and faith in the nation and the country where they come from, where they live...
We would like to invite you to a jubilee 55th Festival that presents the cultural heritage, indeed the identity of the Slovak nation, a festival that develops new friedships, knowledge and hope, and a festival that brings people and nations together!
The 2009 Východná Folklore Festival will be held under the auspices of the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republik Robert Fico.
