Location: Vlčnov
Organizer: Vlčnov Municipal Council
This May too, you can bear witness to the Ride of the Kings in Vlčnov – a folklore tradition, which you have the opportunity of experiencing. This folk celebration, which used to be held in every larger village, is now only observed in Moravian Slovakia and Haná. Ride of the Kings has been included in the UNESCO list since last year as one of the “masterpieces of oral and intangible world heritage”.
Ride of the Kings in Vlčnov is the most popular and has a tradition dating back at least two hundred years. The whole event has also become a festival of folklore groups from all over the country. For three days, you can soak up the atmosphere of Moravian Slovakia, because copious amounts of beautiful folk costumes and folk songs will be found wherever you go. There will of course be a fair with a wide range of products on sale, the result of ancient handicrafts.
