Trojičné námestie do kroja a vlasy do vrkočov! Do ľudovej atmosféry sa naše mesto zapletie aj tento rok. Dvadsiaty štvrtý ročník medzinárodného folklórneho festivalu Trnavská brána pomaly klope opätkami po mestských dlaždiciach. Tento rok sa oslava folklóru bude konať už 13. - 15. júna na Trojičnom námestí a Hlavnej ulici. Program vyvrcholí slávnostným vystúpením SĽUKu v mestskom amfiteátri.

Slovenský ľudový umelecký kolektív (SĽUK) oslavuje 75. výročie svojho založenia veľkolepým galaprogramom. S bohatým pásmom putuje po celom Slovensku, trnavskému publiku sa predstaví 15. júna v mestskom amfiteátri. Výnimočný koncert otvorí okno do histórie svojej umeleckej tvorby a zatvorí tohtoročnú Trnavskú bránu.

On Saturday, the Trnava folklore celebration continues, taking the audience on a journey to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Moravia. Finally, embracing the spirit of "home sweet home," we'll conclude the evening with "Tradition in Trio," featuring the ensembles UFS Trnafčan, FS Ekonóm, and FS Považan.

In two weeks, the Trnava amphitheater will be adorned in festive folklore attire, ready to welcome distinguished guests. Get ready to be swept off your feet by local ensembles Drienka, Trnavček, Trnafčan, the renowned Rozsutec from Terchová, Zemplín's iconic Iconito, Bratislava's "Ekonóm" – and finally, the pulse-quickening rhythms of our Balkan and Moravian guests, KUD Piskavica and Handrlák. Are you acquainted with Friday’s performers yet?

From August 16th to 18th, Trnavská Brána Festival will drape the town in folklore. From dawn, the streets will transform into a runway of folk costumes, with the most splendid lacework and unforgettable moments awaiting you in the amphitheater come evening. Bring the kids along for the festival fun!

We're opening the doors to Slovácky folklore, showcasing the rich traditional folk culture, customs, songs, dances, crafts, and traditions of the Slovácko region. Nestled in southeastern Moravia, this area holds a wealth of history and cultural heritage, evident in every facet of its folklore. Allow us to introduce the Folklore Ensemble of Songs and Dances, Handrlák.

For the third year, Trnavská Brána brings you a "festival within a festival" – the Courtyard of Magical Threads. On Saturday, August 17th, from 13:00 to 18:00, two courtyards will resonate with ancient artistry: the Weaving and Spinning Courtyard and the Embroidery and Lace Courtyard. By the way, did you know the very first lace was discovered in Rome? Fashioned from metal, its beauty remains preserved and admired even today.
