The Organizer NGO “MAKFOLK” - Skopje, Macedonia is honoured to invite your group to take part on the International Veterans Folk Festival “OHRID WAVES 2012” that will take place in Ohrid, Macedonia.The intention of our invitation is to celebrate life, love and friendship trough dance and music. The Festival light motive is to present the cultural tradition of different countries and regions, and to provide an opportunity for the members of groups to get together and create long lasting friendships.

Ohrid an immortal town, a magical hill that links ancient and modern times forever. Ohrid has been a living town for 2400 years, notable for having 365 churches, one for each day of the year, and is referred to as the Macedonian Jerusalem. Through the activity of St. Clement of Ohrid, the first pan-Slavonic university on Europe was situated here. Today Ohrid is a cultural, spiritual and tourist centre. And finally, as the crowning glory of its values, Ohrid and Lake Ohrid have been named a world cultural and natural heritage listed city under the protection of UNESCO since 1980.
Lake Ohrid is one of Europe’s deepest and according to most experts the oldest lake in Europe. The importance of the lake was further emphasized when it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1979. Feel Ohrid for once in your life and you already know why you will return and why it simply cannot be retold.
On the festival may participate folk groups, modern dance groups, vocal groups, instrumental groups and soloists, as well as groups and performers from other art styles. The Groups should perform approximately 15 minutes either with live music or CD and should have flag and sign with the name of the group for the defile.
During the Festival each Group will have one or two performances in Ohrid and its area according to the program of the Festival. The performances will be in the evening hours so you can plan the day ahead and use it for visiting the historical part of the city, excursions or simply enjoying on the beach.
The Organization will organize a meeting with the local authorities and a farewell dinner where you can exchange gifts.

The festival fee is 75 euro per persons. It covers organizational expenses, accommodation in a Hotel for 3 nights with 3 meals per day, dinner party on a Boat (3 hours cruise on the Ohrid Lake). On every 25 participants, one person is free of charge.
