Folklore Group VAL Piran organises the MIFF - Mediterranean International Folklore Festival - from the year 2003 on. The purpose of the MIFF Festival is to present to the public the folklore dances, music and singing and the cultural variety of the Mediterranean countries.
Throughout the festival we would like to build the friendship chain between Mediterranean countries.
The event take part on the Slovenian Coast: in the old medieval city of Piran, on the Tartini Square and The 1st May Square or, in case of bad weather, in the Tartini Theatre, in the congress-spa resort Portoroz, in Koper on the Carpaccio square and in Izola on Manzioli square.
From the year 2007 on the festival is expanding also in Croatia, in the city of Umag, and it is organized together with our partners »Pucko otvoreno uciliste Ante Babic« from Umag and Center for culture, sport and events from Izola. We would like to expand the festival also in Italy (Trieste).
The idea to establish the Mediterranean festival in Piran was risen from Mr. Borut Lusa, the member of the Folklore Association VAL Piran.
The Mediterranean International Folklore Festival 2007 is held from 11th July to 15th July 2007. In this year we will host the groups from Bosnia and Hercegovina, Armenia, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Croatia, Portugal, Poland and Slovenia.
