Our 11th folklore festival is dedicated to Slovak hero, legend Juraj Jánošík. Juraj was man of the mountains and highwayman who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. His fame grew after his death thanks to poems, stories, paintings and songs. Our program will be focusing on "odzemok" dances, songs and dances about Juraj Jánošík.
