Balkan Folklore Festival (Macedonian: Балкански Фолклорен Фестивал) or Balkan festival of folk songs and dances is an international folk festival in Ohrid, Macedonia. It was founded in 1962 and represents the oldest manifestation of its kind in the Balkans. At that festival many vocal and instrumental artistic groups and solosingers present the authentic tradition and culture throughout the dances, songs, customs, traditional clothes and instruments. Traditionally, the festival is held at the beginning of July.^[1] Although the name would suggest otherwise, there are many participants from outside the Balkans, including Asia and Africa.^[2]
