Established as the Union of Slovene Folklore Groups in 1992, the Union is a voluntary, independent, and non-profit union of registered associations, folklore groups, and festivals which have come together to cooperate with folklore festival organisers both in Slovenia and abroad in the presentation of Slovene folkloric customs, music, and dance. It offers assistance to members regarding event organisation and participation in festivals, circulates information about international events, connects different cultural organisations, and organises meetings and symposia at home and abroad in order to advance its professional work.


The Union comprises 72 folklore groups and associations from all over Slovenia and 6 festivals (among them also the CIOFF festival Folkart International Folklore Festival, Maribor and the Mediterranean International Folklore Festival (MIFF)).

In view of the decreased interest of the youth in folklore traditions and aware of their significance for the preservation of intangible cultural heritage, the Union has formed in the beginning of 2011 the Youth Working Group whose experiences, ideas, and innovations can contribute to the expansion of folklore activities.

A Bulletin is available four times a year on the Union's website in the electronic form, while the site's section Groups on Tour is intended to reports from different (inter)national folklore festivals (both in Slovenian only).


The Union of Slovene Folklore Groups is a member of the International Council for Organisations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Art (CIOFF).
