Monument to Jozef Strečanský

The association Lubená and the village Poluvsie invite you to XXI. Jozef Strečanský Memorial - a festival of folk culture in Poluvsí, which is associated with the name of an important folklorist.

The J. Strečanský Memorial is a beautiful folklore event that has been part of the HORNONITRIA Winter Festival cycle for 18 years. It is held regularly on the third Saturday in February, but the reverberations of the pandemic this year have arranged a change in the date of this event.

As the name suggests, this is a memorial event to the founder of the folklore group Lubená. He was an extraordinary figure who had a heartbeat for folk culture and heritage preservation. However, this year's concept of the memorial will also be fulfilled by a competition of amateur musicians, who were enchanted by the tones of various musical instruments and the folk song grew to their hearts. The guest of the event will be Folk Music FS TEKOVAN from Starý Tekov.
