For the very first time, a folk pub will host storytelling, singing teaching and folk karaoke events, while town criers, stilt walkers, and showmen will create a buzzing atmosphere characteristic to country fairs. Moreover, folk and world music concerts will entertain the crowd each day, on two main stages.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-funzine-large wp-image-341649\" src=\"https:\/\/funzine.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_6934-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More than 800 Hungarian and 200 foreign artisans will reveal the secrets of their trades in open workshops, but after all traditional shoemaking, the main theme of this year\u2019s festival, will be in the spotlight. Visitors can learn about both modern and age-old shoes such as tutyi, the popular slippers of the 19th and 20th centuries in southern Hungary, and the ornate slip-ons from Szeged. Apart from open workshops and fashion shows, contemporary footwear designers will unveil how they get inspired by traditional shoes, while the best shoemaker in the world will tell us about all the unusual materials he uses -like crocodile, salmon, ostrich and eel skin- during the shoemaking process. The list of programs is still not complete: anyone can construct shoes with wood pegs and stitch leather by hand in the shoemaking workshop, or apply for an apprenticeship in bespoke shoemaking.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-funzine-large wp-image-341645\" src=\"https:\/\/funzine.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DSC_5201-850x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 33rd Festival of Folk Arts has always been an international event. This year the special guest will be Japan, but ten other countries will also delegate artisans to the festival. Besides getting a glimpse of the authentic Japanese craftsmanship, visitors will learn about Japan\u2019s everyday habits, Furoshiki bags, Kokeshi wooden dolls, stamp making and gastronomy, whereas wonderful hand fans, footwear and ceramics, coming from the eastern country, will also be exhibited. The Japanese craftsmen and women will present us an exotic, unknown world with their kimono fashion show, taiko drum concert and martial art show.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
