Three weeks till the annual Town Festival

August is the time of year when people begin to speak of the
upcoming yearly festival. It's habitually held during the last weekend
of this month.

There will be the usual activities of Slovakian and Romanian
cultural dance troupes and singers.

This year there are plans to add one extra cultural activity as a part
of the usual town festival, which also would be new for this region.

It will be a mini Roma Festival consisting of dance troupes and
a professional Roma musical group. Above I mentioned that it
would be new for this region of Romania. It is thought that it
will be the first one of it's kind because no one has ever seen
or heard of anything similar ever being held before.

This mini Roma festival has resulted in motivation for two of the
other participating towns to organize brand new dance troupes.

It will be small to start as there will be three towns sending
Roma dance troupes. With our own dance troupe there will be
four presenting their routines on the cultural house stage Friday
evening of the 29th.

So far so good as the invitations have been sent out and as it will be
the first edition of this mini Roma festival ... no one knows for sure
how well it will work out.

Return to this blog at the end of the month and I hope to have some
pictures and hopefully an entry describing how successful it was.
