🏢 About the local organisation
Numinosum Festival 2019 is the sixth edition of the traditional music&dance event in the heart of Kampinos Forest, 40 km from Warsaw, the capital of Poland. During 4 days of the festival, there will be more than 10 concerts, a dozen of workshops (singing, instrumental, dance), guided forest trips, family picnic and much more. The idea of the event is to promote Polish and European traditional dance and music (you will hear oberek and mazurek, kujawiak, polka, but also avant-deux, scottish, mazurka, chappeloise, bourree, circle circassien, rondeau etc.). We host people both from Poland and abroad.
