The Východná Folklore Festival is the oldest and largest national festival with international participation in our region. Every year, on the first weekend in July, the village of Východná, near the High Tatras, revives rich folklore traditions. The theme of the 68th edition of the festival is generations. There will also be a tribute to the renowned folklorist, dancer, and choreographer Štefan Kocák on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Východná is a celebration of folklore, and its existence contributes significantly to the revival, preservation, creative development, and public presentation of the precious values of our cultural treasure. Folklore is deeply rooted in the traditions and culture of the Slovak nation, which is why it can arouse the joy of mutual encounter and revive not only history but also feelings. Be part of this celebration.
