Like last year, participation in the Folk Day can also be on the days around that date - the days before and after 23 September. The European Folk Day website www.europeanfolkday.eu and some of the resources on it will be updated in the next few days – and we hope that you will participate, in whatever way you choose, in this Europe-wide celebration of the incredible folk arts of the people of Europe.
European Folk Network Conference 2024 – Save the date!
In the spirit of the European Folk Day, the 2024 EFN conference will be held in Kaustinen, Finland, on 24 & 25 SEPTEMBER.
Kaustinen - deep in the heart of Western Finland - is a very special centre for the living traditions of intangible cultural heritage and folk arts and home to our hosts and EFN members the Finnish Folk Music Institute and the renowned Kaustinen Folk Festival.
For the 2024 conference, EFN and Kaustinen offer a unique opportunity to explore this remarkable part of rural Finland and its importance to folk traditions, whilst meeting and sharing ideas with a host of other people and organisations active in the folk arts from across Europe.
