One of the chief responsibilities of the Dance House Association is to organize the annual national festival of dance houses, a great display of genres and movements in folk art. Some 3500 participants are expected to attend the next, 33rd occasion. One of the most important folklore festivals in Hungary, the National Dance House Festival and Fair is an annual review of folk music, dance and material folk art, featuring amateur and professional performers, children’s and adults’ folk dance ensembles, music school students and traditionalist folk artists, who represent Hungarians living in the Carpathian Basin, as well as the ethnic minorities of Hungary.
