Abstract
The contribution Folklore Festivals in Moravia in the Light of
Social Development deals with the interest in folk culture, or
rather folklore expressions and their presentation at
ethnographic festivities and folklore festivals. It pays
attention to the first impulses for these activities, the
struggles of individuals and institutions and especially the
social connections of the mentioned cultural stream. As to the
territory, the study of this development focuses on Moravia
where since the late-19th century the living folk culture
blended with the efforts to safeguard it, and where currently
ethno-cultural traditions develop, which many cases have their
roots in the legacy of folk culture.
