About the festival 2022


"Annual Rings"

The Ring (or Circle; noun) is one of the oldest and most important symbols. It is a reflection of the sun, moon, unity, integrity, protection and regeneration, cyclical movement, ... of life. It is the oldest form of dance that guarantees equality, in which everyone has a place.

Folk culture has evolved over the centuries as circles on the water: the song, the working process, the fairy tale originated at the site of the "impact of the stone", they continued to spread, they met other circles, they connected, they disappeared.

The Annual rings are a symbol of this year's Folklore Festival Východná. The anniversaries of generations that today, as in the past, carry life and art. The annual rings of the areas that connect, unite, intersect. Rings of creation have evolved artistically over time.

Every historical period has brought something new. Modern dance, music, pattern. But every result of creativity stemmed from past experience. It followed it up, and developed it further.

...but - When the Weapons Rin, the Muses are Silent…

In recent years, we have had to learn to face difficult times that seem to have stopped everything that was every day to us. However, we are not the first and we will not be the last.

Generations of our ancestors have overcome obstacles for centuries, fought, built, and developed. They formed, building on the foundations of those before them. Thanks to their experience, wisdom, and strength. Like a tree: its bark, through which life flows, is the youngest, but it lives thanks to its strong centre and roots. The stronger they are, the more they can withstand the storm.

Take care of the oldest roots, but also of young fragile rods. From them they grow, develop, grow stronger and the trees.

Payments — Ticket

TYPE OF PAYMENT: PAYMENT CARD

Visitors can also buy tickets at the festival area by credit card. We understand that this method of payment is a kind of lifestyle and a convenient approach to dealing with cash savings directly at the festival. The payment card will be accepted at four entrances to the amphitheatre (A1, A2, A3, A4).

Do you know?
The first payment card in Czechoslovakia was issued by Živnostenská banka in 1988 and was accepted in the Tuzex store network. And since the middle of 1989, Česká štátna sporiteľňa has been issuing withdrawal cards from ATMs to its clients' savings accounts. And what do the cards look like today?
Nowadays, cards are divided from different points of view. The most important is probably the breakdown by the association that issues the card. Mastercard and VISA cards are the most widespread in Europe. The cards are also issued by Diners Club International, American Express and especially the Japan Credit Bureau in Asia.

ECO

At the festival, each visitor produces more than half a kilogram of municipal waste. That's more than 14 tons of unseparated waste that ends up in landfills. At the same time, most of it can be evaluated. Up to 40 percent of waste from similar events is biodegradable kitchen waste from the gastronomy zone.

Our goal is green solutions and a substantial improvement in environmental performance

  • assisted waste sorting
  • compostable dishes
  • collection of secondary raw materials
  • keeping the premises clean
  • additional sanitary facilities (toilets, showers) with saving water
  • family zone
