The first weekend of July in the village of Kriváň will traditionally belong to the Východná Folklore Festival. The 69th year of the top show of Slovak folklore will be held from Thursday, July 4 to Sunday, July 7.
With the leitmotif of the 69th year of the Folklore Festival, Eastern traditions in motion, the organizers want to follow up on the previous year. To emphasize the dynamism of folklore tradition, which is constantly evolving and adapting to new conditions and younger generations. Even traditional culture cannot be an island that stands still in the midst of changes and development of our being. Traditions in motion want to be a testimony of the times. They want to combine not only the presentation of traditional elements of Slovak folklore, but also provide space for the expression of new, more modern forms and approaches to processing the original material. If the tradition is to be alive even in new generations, it must also perceive the needs of the younger generation and draw on its energy while maintaining its value essence.
