Slovakia’s Folk Culture and Festivals


Slovakia takes pride in its folk traditions and folklore. Each city, municipality and region has a unique folklore and character. The uniqueness is evident in their music, costumes, songs, dances, architecture, dialects, customs and traditions. Numerous folk festivals are celebrated all across Slovakia to present the culture of different religions. The most spectacular folk festivals are held in mainly three towns – Detva, Myjava, and Východná. All of these three festivals are funded by the C.I.O.F.F., which is the largest folklore organization in the world! There are many other regional festivals that are, in no way, less than the three aforementioned festivals. Each festival bears a unique significance, a distinct atmosphere and charm!

Custom and traditions:
Folk customs and traditions have a great influence on the life of Slovak individuals. Most of these customs originated out of fear of the unknown and the inability to explain the various natural events. The uncertainties of life were the roots of many myths, superstitions and legends. The Slovaks believe that by following these customs, they can achieve health, happiness and beauty. Most of these customs were associated with birth and death. Since the ancient Slovaks lived in close connection to nature, most of their customs and traditions centre round the natural cycle. However, after Christianity arrived, several new customs and traditions were introduced. The festivals in Slovakia are linked to specific regions. It won’t be wrong to say that for each village, there is a separate set of customs.

Folk festivals:
Every year, below the Poľana Mountain, a folk festival takes place. The popularity of this festival goes beyond the borders of Slovakia. Being an international festivals celebrating folk music, song and dance, this annual festival is eagerly awaited by the Slovaks. The venue of the festival is the amphitheatre in Detva. In the time of the festival, a fair is also organized where hand-made works of art are sold. Another popular festival is Podroháč Folk Festival that is hosted at the Museum of Orava Village Zuberec. Even this festival is accompanied by a traditional handicraft fair. In the village Martin, the collection and manual processing of harvest is celebrated every year around the same time. During the summer, another exciting folk festival takes place in Východná. This international festival offers you a glimpse into the wonderful folk culture of the country.

The culture of the Roma people:
There are about 90,000 registered Romani people in Slovakia, and some of them even speak their native Gypsy language. Despite the passage of time, the Roma people have been able to maintain their very own culture and traditions. Known to be good musicians, singers and dancers, the Romani people have their own folklore that they have kept alive till today. Some of the musical instruments that these people are known for playing include violin and cymbalo. Their dynamic and rhythmical music and dance are known and appreciated all over the world! Even their costumes stand out from the other cultures. They often embellish their costumes with a lot of scarves and jewelry items.
