Description was written before the event

On July 3-4, 2026, visitors and locals can enjoy a rich folklore programme. The 6th edition of the Ondrášova valaška showcase of artistic and folklore ensembles will take place in the Wooden Town area of the Valašské muzeum v přírodě (Wallachian Open-Air Museum).

About the venue: Valašské muzeum v přírodě

The Wallachian Open-Air Museum in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm is the largest open-air museum in the Czech Republic and one of the oldest of its kind in Europe. Dozens of authentic timber buildings - farmsteads, chapels, mills - were relocated here from the Wallachian countryside and reassembled across a sprawling site. The museum regularly hosts folk festivals, craft fairs and seasonal events throughout the year.
