The Eurofolk
Festiaval of Zamość
is hold in mid-July and lasts for six days. In these days folklore groups from different
continets arrive in Zamość to sing, dance and show their local culture. I attend the Eurofolk every year.
The preparations for Eurofolk are quite simple. A big
scene is arranged
on the Great Market and chairs are set in front of the
scene – that
allowes spectators to watch the concerts in comfort.
The Festival starts with the procession?? of all the groups which walk the main streets of Zamość. The artists are wearing traditional, folk clothes. Every group is different, because every group presents folklore of its country, which sometimes is very
egzotic. The artists arrive
on the Great Market playing the traditional instruments and singing on the street. The concerts of folk music
are hold every evening. After the concerts the artists leave the
scene in order to play and dance with the local people
on the Market.
At the end of the festival it is chosen the favourire artist of the spectators.
I always feel a little sad, when the
Festiwal ends. Eurofolk is the period of time, when Zamość wakes up for a few days and becomes lively and jolly place.
