The 32nd International Festival of Children's Folk Ensembles FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS will be held on 20-26 July 2025 in Nowy Sącz. We invite you to read the regulations of the event. We are waiting for applications from foreign groups until 31st January 2025.

Gong! With this sound, Andrzej Zarych, the director of MCK SOKÓŁ, opens the door of this year’s last concert of the FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS. And through the wide-open time of the final concert, the Costa Rican girls enter, introduced by a flute. They are looking in different directions, sometimes responding with movement to the music, finally appearing to find one another. TOGETHER they are leaving the stage.

This is how that extraordinary evening in the courtyard of SOKÓŁ Małopolska Cultural Centre can be titled. However, the event was officially called “World Music.”

Poland - from the foot of the Old Witches’ Mountain, and North Macedonia - from town of Štip - fall into each other's arms to the joyful whirr of the pinwheels.
