For the thirtieth time, and as if anew....

Capturing the vibrant spirit of tradition and community, the 30th International Festival of Children’s Folk Ensembles FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS kicked off with a heartwarming church service at St. Margaret Basilica. The town came alive as the mayor and regional authorities warmly welcomed the ensembles, symbolically entrusting them with the keys to the town, setting the stage for an unforgettable festival parade through the historic streets, culminating in an exhilarating inaugural concert at Riflemen’s Park Amphitheatre.
