This year, the festival’s heartfelt message will once again resonate in the heart of Old Prague through music, dance, and song. The International Folklore Festival of Nations, National Minorities, and Ethnic Groups will showcase folk art in the city center. Each year, the festival serves as a source of positive energy in today’s fast-paced world. Music, dance, and song, combined with good cheer and good intentions, symbolize the joy of life and serve as an enrichment or a reminder of the gems and treasures of one’s own nation or other nations. The festival features programs of music, dance, and singing (including spirituals), a folk costume parade, exhibitions, creative workshops, crafts, and dance schools. The popular parade of performers will once again wind through the Old Town this year. In the heart of Prague, you can enjoy magnificent displays of traditional folk art at the festival’s events. This year’s festival features 20 ensembles from 15 countries around the world. Part of the festival will take place on Old Town Square, which is open to everyone without exception. The annual highlight of the festival is the Gala Program in the festive setting of the Vinohrady Theater.
