FolCon Brno
30. 8. — 1. 9. 2024
FolCon is a gathering of fans of Celtic and Nordic culture. Why do we organize it?
We want to meet people on the same wavelength who are as passionate as we are. We’ve also picked up experiences and skills along our life journeys that we want to share. What can you expect from the first edition? A long weekend filled with dance and music workshops and classes, sessions, dances, meeting old and new friends, little sleep and lots of powerful experiences. We’re still working on the programme, so it’s hard to say what else will be added, but we can already promise you Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Balfolk or Scandinavia
FAQ
Could be useful:
Where will FolCon be held?
The programme will take place in the centre of Brno.
When should I come then?
Make time from August 30 to September 1.
How much will it cost?
We tried to set fair prices and meet everyone’s needs. In short — you can enjoy it for five hundred, but you can (and will want to) invest in yourself even more. Payment information is here.
Can I bring my dog, pet fish and children?
Dogs and fish would probably not like it here, children are welcome! Special workshops with an extra price and accompanying activities will be prepared for them.
Will I have a place to stay?
Absolutely, we are planning both simple accommodation with sleeping on a mattress and a little more comfort where you will have your own bed.
Who is organising FolCon?
We are a team of people who have been around the cultural scene before. Most of us are on the leadership team of a dance group or community (Démáirt, Céilí Club, Feidh, Ton Simple…) or play in a band (Dálach, Gruagach). We have many years of experience in organizing events, teaching music or dance. We cooperate with the YMCA Brno, under which some of our groups and societies operate. Some of us are not from Brno and participate in the organization of FolCon remotely (but of course they will come!). You will find all name in tutor section.
Sounds great, can I sign up?
Yes! Registration starts on June 5. Please register for passes and accommodation and also sign up for workshops.
