Throughout the festival, the Minoan Dancers, a company of Greek-American performing artists dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Greek culture and folk dancing will perform traditional Greek dances wearing authentic costumes.

The Bulgarian rose production is popularised every year during the Festival of Roses. This festival of the roses originates from the celebrations held at the beginning of the rose-harvesting period at which the manufacturers from the whole valley sang and danced, dressed up in rose flowers, together with masked dancers called koukeri.

Most intersting now are the electing of Queen Rose, the harvesting ritual in the rose gardens and the parade along the streets of the town.

International Folk Workshops `Powrót do Ÿróde³ – wielokulturowoœæ wspólnej Europy` (Return to the sources – multicultural character of the common Europe) are for interested young artists, who are concerned with folk creation, dancing, music and taking care of regional tradition. These workshops are not a kind of competition.

In workshops can take part groups from different European coutries (one group can’t be bigger than 20 people).
