Book 11-13.10.24 for the 5th Csángó Festival in Torun
Please joinus on October10 , 2024 in Gdansk, Poland, and from October 11 to 13, 2024 in Toruń to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the CsángóFestival in Poland.
The 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 present traditional handicrafts and culinary arts, as well as visual arts – this year especially documentary photography of the Csángó culture by Ádám Gyula.
The culture of the Csángó (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.
Csángó 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.
