IX Festival of Traditional Art

"This festival, which takes place for the ninth time, is an important piece of culture that unites nations. I am very glad that such initiatives, next to sport events, are undertaken at the university" - said Professor Thomas Łodygowski, rector of the University of Technology at the meeting inaugurating the Ninth Festival of Traditional Art.

As in previous years, this year's festival took place at the initiative of the University Cultural Center of Poznan University of Technology and "Poligrodzianie" Ensemble. From Friday to Sunday inhabitants of Gniezno, Konin and Lusowo had the opportunity to enjoy performances presented by folk groups from all over Europe. As part of this year's Festival, we refer to the folklore: Netherlands, Greece, Belarus, Cyprus, Turkey, Slovakia and Macedonia. The special guest was the formation Weseli Galicjanie from Ukraine closing the final concert in Lusowo. The past three days the people of Wielkopolska region spent very colorful, danceable, and certainly folkloric.
The project is supported by the Marshal Office of Wielkopolska, Tarnowo Podgórne, the City of Gniezno and the District Office in Poznań.
