The festival of amateur folklore ensembles "Prague Folklore Days" was held in Prague for the twentieth time. It is organized by the travel agency "Millennium Travel" and the Municipality of Prague and this year it was held on July 17, 18, and 19. "The goal of the festival is to present the richness and beauty of folk art from all over the world." It is an event mainly focused on tourists and the program proves it. It is a pity that the travel agency probably does not cooperate with people who are professionally involved in folk and world music. Some of the ensembles are always certainly interesting, but overall it seems to me like another wasted opportunity for the Prague municipality.
