This year's edition of the FESTIVAL OF THE CHILDREN OF MOUNTAINS is breaking records! Our Festival not only received funding of 240,000 złoty from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, but also took FIRST PLACE in the ranking, achieving the highest number of points out of over 700 submitted applications!

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.”
