The International Folklore Festival Brno has been held regularly since 1990, always at the end of the school holidays. The opening gala ceremony of this year's festival will take place tomorrow in the courtyard of the New Town Hall. We will see performances by BROLN and VUS ONDRÁŠ [Ondráš Military Artistic Ensemble] with their soloists. During the festival there will also appear ensembles such as Silesianie from Poland, Volynianka from Ukraine or Seljačka Sloga from Croatia.
For several years, this festival used to be an inseparable part of the Summer Folklore Festivities of the City of Brno, which, however, have already disappeared. From the original gathering of local ensembles, it turned into a true festival with a rich programme and international participation. From 2013 to 2016, the festival programme also featured Jihomoravské dožínky [South Moravian Harvest Festival] organised by the South Moravian Region. This year's International Folklore Festival Brno is taking place from 29 August to 1 September 2019.
