VII Festival of Traditional Art

The Festival of Traditional Art is the key project of The Folk Association “Poligrodzianie”. It is the world-wide unique affair which connects tradition with modern approach to understanding the art and presents not only regional products but also inspired by traditional folklore, for example fashion show. During the festival week, the inhabitants of our voivodeship may take part in numerous concerts and admire folklore ensembles from around the world. The Festival of Traditional Art is the only traditional culture venture, which involves the audience to take part in so tightly. Among many presentation there are singing and dancing workshops, film screening and jam sessions etc. In one word – The Warta Campus of Poznan University of Technology changes into the festival town.

It happened again – in August 2013 The VIIth edition of Festival of Traditional Art came into the final phase. Over 180 participants from six countries took part in almost a week-long cultural event. Musicians, dancers, singers and other artist had an outstanding opportunity to show regional heritage of their homelands.
