Csángó Festival in POLAND
The Csángó Festival in Poland is the fruit of Polish-Hungarian friendship, the flourishing of the dance
house movement and at the same time traditional culture: we dance, make music and sing together.
The fusion of temperaments and the explosion of joy in making music and dancing together create
ideas for future editions of the Festival.
We are happy to join festivals and other events realised in a similar spirit to the All Mazurkas of the
World Festival in Warsaw or the Song of Our Roots Festival in Jarosław.
We propose various forms of our activity:

Patron of the Festival – Mária Petrás
We are happy to announce that the honorary patron of the Czango Festival has become a person who has been supporting our mission with great dedication for years – Mária Petrás.
Ever since I met the organizers of the Czango Festival in Poland, I have loved the sheer dedication with which they treat the culture of my small nation (Csángóság) and the way they work tirelessly to make our Polish brothers and sisters get to know and love it. Thank you for the honor of being the honorary patron of the Czango Festival in Poland. So far I have done my best to revitalize the Chango culture, and I will continue to do so in the future, God willing. I wish you good luck and God’s Power in accomplishing this noble task! – Mária Petrás says.
The support of our patroness is an invaluable inspiration that strengthens our determination to bring the Chango culture closer and nurture ties between our peoples.

“Hungary and Poland are two eternal oaks, each of them shot up with a trunk separate and distinct, but their roots, widely spread under the surface of the earth and tangled and knit together invisibly. Hence the existence and blackness of one is to the other a condition of life and health.”
