Please join us on October 10, 2024 in Gdansk, Poland, and from October 11 to 13, 2024 in Toruń, Poland, to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the Csángó Festival in Poland.

Csángó Festival in Poland is a celebration of Polish-Hungarian friendship, with more nations and social groups joining in. The festival is the fruit of the burgeoning dance house movement – a tradition that originated in Hungary and is listed as an intangible UNESCO heritage site, where the young learn from the old in a natural way, making music, singing and playing together. Among the intergenerational events planned are:

We will also showcase traditional handicrafts and cuisine, as well as visual arts – this year especially documentary photography of the Czango culture by Ádám Gyula.

The culture of the Czango (Hungarian: Csángó) people, a Hungarian-speaking ethnic group living in Romanian Moldova and parts of Transylvania, attaches importance to traditional values such as community, living in harmony with nature, and spirituality. This year we will also join the anniversaries of Saint Kinga (Latin: Kunegundis) and Saint Hedwig (Latin: Hedvigis). Both rulers and saints of the Catholic Church were born in Hungary and reigned in Poland – they are symbols of Hungarian-Polish friendship.

See what the 2023 and 2022 Festival looked like and view the photo gallery.

Czango Festival in Poland combines ethno & eco – we inspire you to care about:

cultural heritage,
about the limited resources of the natural environment
about one’s health, including harmony of body, mind and soul, and about human relations.

Let’s come together to experience beauty and draw on the patterns developed by past generations, and today forgotten, to create a valuable type of community, where native culture serves to bring people together, strengthen identity and civic activity.

We will unveil details of the program gradually.
