Góbéfest, the celebration of Transylvanian food, culture and music, is to return to Manchester later this month. Now in its sixth year, it will take up residence in Cathedral Gardens and Exchange Square from June 24 to 26, bringing a taste of the Carpathian Basin to the city.
There will be a dedicated food and drink market, stages for choirs, folk music ensembles and solo artists, as well as tents for storytelling, crafts and workshops. And for the first time, the Sunday’s events will be dedicated to dance, featuring folk groups in the Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Romanian and Polish traditions.
Performers will be hailing from across Eastern Europe, from Transylvania, Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary and Romania. There will also be a wealth of food from the region too.
