Csángó Festival

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:

dance parties
workshops
concerts
presentations on czango culture
events for families with children
event moderation and translations
promotion
exhibitions

Our team

“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.”
