The oldest regional folklore festival with its biggest collection/gathering of folklore groups and kroj in the Czech Republic: MORAVIAN-SLOVAK YEAR in KYJOV!
The history of this festival reaches back to 1921
The Moravian-Slovak Year – the greatest folklore event which takes place every four years, as the Olympic Games do The gates of the royal city of Kyjov will open to the fans of traditions, folk music, songs, and dance, and mainly those of excellent entertainment for the twenty-first time in this August.
After four years, the center of the region of Kyjov Dolňácko will become a Mecca for folklorists from Bohemia, Moravia, and foreign countries again. Thousands of participants will perform in more than thirty performances on Festival days. The parade with three thousand people in traditional folk costumes from all villages of the region will brighten up the city square with vivid colors of their richly embellished folk garments. The folk fair will demonstrate the skill of Bohemian and Moravian craftsmen and the summer air will smell of traditional delicacies, wine, and homemade spirits. Exuberant singing accompanied by magic tunes of violins and cimbaloms will be interrupted only by the sound of church bells inviting to the festive Sunday mass, and by the hoof beat under saddles of riders from the Ride of the Kings, riding at a gallop from Skoronice to the majestic town hall of Kyjov. „Do experience the thrill when a tall maypole rises to the sky as a symbol of the Festival beginning, and the feeling of the beautiful nostalgia when it falls down in the early evening on Sunday and the heart of the Slovácko region, beating for three days and nights, quietens slowly down. Our region will open its arms to you and the city of Kyjov will offer you its hospitality; you all are most cordially welcome to the Moravian-Slovak Year.
