In the early 1980s, a local folk community held an event that aimed to exhibit folk songs and dance traditions from various countries. It was 1984 when the first Lublin Folklore Days were inaugurated featuring foreign and local folk performers. The keen interest of the audience and very positive feedback from the participating artists encouraged the organisers to continue the project. Since 1994, the festival has been managed by the Lublin Song and Dance Ensemble which is responsible for the programming and technical support. The event is held under the auspices of CIOFF – the International Council of Organisations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts – and is ranked among the most important projects of this type in our country. The programme is alternated each year with a view to presenting either adult or children performances.
In total, during the festival, 30 concerts will be held in Lublin, Nałęczów and Włodawa, where viewers will be able to watch groups from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Georgia, North Macedonia, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and Italy.
