21 years ago Hungary joined to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Convention. The Crafts Celebrations will highlight communities representing crafts that are inscribed on the UNESCO National and Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
On the 20st August, in a centuries-old tradition, the masters will once again celebrate the feast of St Stephen with a festive procession of harvest wreaths and a solemn bread blessing.
Every year, the workshops – where masters present special craft tricks and practices – draw a great deal of interest. Visitors are able to observe unique knowledge rooted in centuries of generational experience, immense humility and love.
Renowned artisan from Europe and Asia will attend the event. Visitors will have the opportunity to admire the works of Polish, South Korean, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Uzbek, and Turkish masters.
