They come from the place where Great Moravia - the cradle of the Czechs and Slovaks - may have come into existence. So they come from the place where cultures intermingle. They begin. Just like that, without any announcement, the Czech band welcomes everyone as swiftly as the Tatra waterfalls run. And, of course, the beginning element is the hearty Czech-Polish hug with pinwheels in hand.

Day of the czechs and the podhale highlanders, despite the cloudy weather, started off very well. Many spectators gathered at the Nowy Sącz market square, who were delighted by the performances of the DFS OMLADINKA group from the Czech Republic and MALI WIYRCHOWIANIE from Bukowina Tatrzańska.

The shimmering instruments played by the Costa Rican band: the trumpets, the trombone and the saxophones break the gentle darkness of the stage. The orchestra performs a fanfare! The Costa Rican children and the Zasadne children fall into each other’s arms.
