Planning to spend the first July weekend (3–5 July 2026) with us at Strachanovka? We have a tip for two exceptional events taking place right in our area, worth a visit.

Východná Folk Festival

Východná Folk Festival — the oldest and largest folklore festival in Slovakia.

The oldest and largest nationwide folklore festival takes place annually in the village of Východná, just a short distance from us. This year it runs 3–5 July 2026.

The festival offers:

  • A rich program with over 1,400 performers from all over Slovakia and abroad
  • Folk dance, music, song and traditional crafts
  • Workshops for the whole family
  • The atmosphere of Slovak tradition directly under the Tatras

ZA 7 HORAMI (Liptovský Ján)

ZA 7 HORAMI festival — folk and cultural entertainment for the whole family in Liptovský Ján.

The ZA 7 HORAMI festival in Liptovský Ján takes place on the same dates — 3–5 July 2026. It is a folk and music event right in our neighbourhood, combining tradition, music and the regional culture of Liptov.

What to expect:

  • Music and cultural program in the open air in the centre of Liptovský Ján
  • A children’s program with fairy-tale characters, creative workshops and games
  • Folk craftsmen, traditional delicacies and regional specialties
  • An atmosphere of family fun in the beautiful surroundings of the Low Tatras

Combine the events with a stay at Strachanovka

Both events take place on the same dates, which makes this weekend the ideal opportunity for an extended cultural stay in Liptov. Strachanovka — thanks to its location in Jánska dolina — is the perfect base camp, with both festivals right at your doorstep.

After a day full of folklore, you can return to us and relax in our log cabin, enjoy quality regional cuisine, or treat yourself to wellness.

Strachanovka offers accommodation in the largest log cabin in Liptov — from classic rooms to spacious apartments.
