70th Folklore Festival Východná, 3 - 6 July, 2025 Facebook Instagram YouTube

About the Festival

The Folklore Festival Východná is the oldest and the largest nationwide festival with international participation in Slovakia. Annually, on the threshold of the summer tourist season in the attractive environment near the High and Low Tatras, rich folk traditions come to life, and the village of Východná becomes the center of traditional Slovak culture for several days.

FFV is a celebration of folklore and its existence contributes significantly to revival, preservation, creative development and public presentation of the precious values of the Slovak cultural heritage. Folklore is deeply rooted in the traditions and culture of the Slovak nation, thus, every encounter with it can evoke joy and revive not only history but also emotion. Be a part of this celebration and experience the joy of mutual encounter, bringing history and feeling to life.

Take a look with us at the highlights of the FFV 2024.
