Event
"Fairy Tales, the Carpathians, Africa. A Journey Through Rhythm, Color, and Story" - Culture for the 6th Małopolska Children's and Family Day.
We want the Sądecki Ethnographic Park to become a family adventure through two distant, yet surprisingly close, worlds: the Carpathians and Africa. We plan to combine children's curiosity, music, art, movement, nature, and stories about the everyday lives of people in different parts of the world.
The common thread of the event isn't exoticism, but rather the question: how do people live, decorate their bodies, tell stories, dance, celebrate, and work with wood, color, and sound?
We begin with a concert in the Galician Town and conclude with a musical highlight in the amphitheater at the Sądecki Ethnographic Park. We cordially invite you!
