An Atmosphere Full of Folklore, Music, and Joy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, May 4, 2025, Nestville Park once again transformed into a place where traditional values, culture, and the joy of life came together. The 11th edition of the Spring Festival was organized by the civic association Spolo\u010denstvo zroden\u00e9 z minulosti<\/em>. This year\u2019s event was dedicated to honoring the youngest national minority in Slovakia \u2013 the Gorals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The atmosphere of the event was not only sunny and spring-like, but above all filled with emotions, smiles, and pride in the cultural heritage of our ancestors. From early morning, the Nestville Park grounds filled with visitors. They came to enjoy a rich cultural program featuring folklore, competitions, and traditional food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spring Festival officially began with a ceremonial opening, followed by a welcome of participants and a performance by the \u013dubov\u0148an folklore ensemble. Visitors enjoyed performances by FS Magura, FSK Ta\u013ear, and FS \u013dubov\u0148an\u010dek. Jo\u017eko Jo\u017eka, FS Vargov\u010dan, and the energetic \u013dH Zami\u0161kovci also performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Flavors and Competitions for Visitors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The presentation of traditional dishes, prepared by local municipalities, was also an essential part of the event. Vy\u0161n\u00e9 Ru\u017ebachy, Forbasy, Litmanov\u00e1, Kola\u010dkov, and Ni\u017en\u00e9 Ru\u017ebachy all took part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors could also enjoy competitions such as wood sawing, drinking \u017ein\u010dica, and eating Spi\u0161 sausages. The ceremonial maypole raising, accompanied by folklorists from FS Magura, was not missing either. It brought an even stronger sense of tradition and togetherness to Nestville Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tradition Bearer Competition 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the main highlights of the event was the \u201cTradition Bearer\u201d competition. In it, municipalities from the Star\u00e1 \u013dubov\u0148a district competed against each other. The results clearly show that pride in heritage and living traditions is still strong in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title of Tradition Bearer 2025 was awarded to the village of Ni\u017en\u00e9 Ru\u017ebachy. It won over both the jury and the audience with its presentation, decorations, traditional dishes, and performance. Forbasy placed second, while Vy\u0161n\u00e9 Ru\u017ebachy took third place. Other participating municipalities included Litmanov\u00e1, Kola\u010dkov, and Podol\u00ednec, all of which contributed to the diversity and authenticity of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebration of Heritage that Connects Generations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Spring Festival was not only a celebration of spring as a season, but above all a celebration of the spiritual revival of cultural values that we collectively preserve and cherish at Nestville Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We sincerely thank all performers, ensembles, municipalities, and visitors whose presence created a unique atmosphere that grows stronger, warmer, and more magical each year. Our gratitude also goes to everyone involved in the organization \u2013 colleagues, volunteers, and especially the owners of Nestville Park, thanks to whom we have a place where we feel at home. A place where family, pride, and a living past come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
