Dni majstrov (Craftsmen Days) not only for adults
Zuzana Strešnáková
This year’s largest ÚĽUV’s event, Dni majstrov, held traditionally on the first weekend in September, was full of children as there was a novelty introduced – folk games and entertainment for children visiting this weekend-long craft celebration. For this reason, adults could devote more time to viewing and buying the wonderful array of traditional Slovak products from more than one hundred first-class craftsmen, working under the trademark úľuv. The twenty-seventh year of the ÚĽUV Dni majstrov festival, the most significant event in relation to creating awareness of The Centre for Folk Art Production and its branding, once again attracted to the historic core of Bratislava thousands of families from all over Slovakia, as well as overseas visitors who were clearly delighted to attend such a wonderful event.
