General Information
In 2011 the three visiting groups were:
- Agrupación Folklórica Celme, from Pontevedra in Spain
- Akademiska Folkdanslaget, from Stockholm in Sweden
- Volkstanzgruppe Sankt Martin im Sulmtal, from Steiermark, Austria
We were very pleased that our friends Agrupación Folklórica Celme, from Pontevedra in Spain, who visited us in 1995, were participating in our festival again, and we were pleased to welcome Akademiska Folkdanslaget from Sweden and Volkstanzgruppe Sankt Martin from Austria who both participated in our festival for the first time.
