Launched in 1971, the International Folklore Festival, Beltinci takes place in the town of Beltinci in south-eastern Slovenia. Held at Beltinci Castle and in Beltinci Park, the programme features folkloric dance and presentations of traditional customs. Over the years, it has expanded to include exhibitions, book presentations, folk music evenings, culinary events, and other accompanying activities.
Attracting a large audience, the festival offers visitors an opportunity to experience a wide range of cultural traditions from across Slovenia and numerous countries worldwide. While it has predominantly hosted groups from Europe, it also welcomes participants from other continents, with particular emphasis on collaboration with Slovenians living across the border.
