Craft Festival in July in Slovakia

The best masters of traditional handcrafts from Slovakia as well as from all Europe present their products here. Right in place they demonstrate their art, whether they are smiths, jewellers, artistic tinkers, potters, weavers, decorators of eggs, makers of honey-cakes, fujara makers, makers of the typical shepherds´ wooden mugs called črpák, cornhusk products makers and others.

The festival includes a rich cultural programme with performances of folk ensembles, falcon trainers, street theatre, fencing and also an abundance of Slovak national dishes and a cheese market.

The most famous traditional Slovak crafts include ceramics and various textile forms from weaving to embroidery. Wiresmithing, creating decorative objects by shaping wire, is a little-known local specialty well worth a look..
