The International Folklore Festival is one of the
top events of folklore expressions in Croatia, namely an event
representing amateur folklore groups dedicated to preserving and
presenting local heritage. The event has been taking place in Zagreb
since 1966, continuing the tradition of the Festival of Croatian Village
Culture that was organized in the 1930s. The International Folklore
Festival aims to present and promote traditional values of all nations
and cultures, contributing to the efforts of preserving cultural
diversities in the globalized world. The program is drawn up by experts,
ethnologists and folklorists who are in constant contact with
contemporary life of Croatian traditional culture as heritage.
Zagreb Concert Management, as the traditional
organizer of the Festival, has been contributing to the efforts of
presenting and ensuring the affirmation of heritage and of promoting the
idea of cultural diversity as one of the general human values.
The 46th International Folklore Festival, which
will be held in Zagreb from 18 to 22 July 2012, will with its central
theme focus the attention to the contents of the folklore scene
performed by children and will be addressed CHILDREN AND FOLKLORE.
Apart from children’s groups, the 46th International
Folklore Festival will bring together the folklore groups of adults from
Croatia and other countries. Among them there will be some of the
emigrant groups who could not participate in the 2011 Festival program
dedicated to Croats scattered around the world.
As the previous ones, the Festival will also include
an exhibition (in connection with the children in folklore), concerts of
traditional church music and world music, and numerous dance and music
workshops.Quelle: MSF Zagreb
