The performers at the Festival are expected to display the folk art of their region: dancing, singing, playing traditional instruments, and dress in the purest and most authentic form. Its special attraction is the procession through the streets of Topola headed by riders carrying the Festival’s banners in which all participants of the festival take part and give out fruits from the baskets to the public. Folk Festival is the manifestation that in the right manner preserves the tradition and customs of Serbian people. Topola and its tourist offer expand. The reputation of its hospitality, culture, good food, fine wine, outstanding spirits, the authentic handicrafts, music and dance spreads. It tells one that Topola should be seen, experienced and felt and not once – but again and again. |

The old proverb says: “Tell me what dance you do, and I’ll know who you are”. Unparalleled among other elements of folk culture, the dance has traits that are specific to each individual ethnicity. In itself, it bears the spirit of people, nation and its beliefs. Folk dance, as a part of ancient rituals, followed human development to provide a perspective view of the changes in the overall lifestyle of people through time. Handed from generation to generation, each leaving its own mark, it conveys the emotions and elements of everyday life, enriching them and bestowing on it new beauty and the glory of the epoch.
