Croatian Day in Pecs

We had such a fun afternoon yesterday. Pecs was hosting a “Croatian Day” all day. This happens every year, and they always invite Croatian dancing ensembles from all over (Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Hungary usually). As part of this, in the afternoon all the dance troops perform first in the main square and later in front of the theatre, and in the evening they do a full dance show on stage. Since the first two performances are free, we went to those and boy, it was so great, and beautiful. The first group was from the Croatian island of Korcula and it was all guys and they did this whole dancing with the flag thing, it was so cool, I hope this little picture helps you get a taste of it....

...and the last ones to come out were of course the dancers from SUBOTICA! I might be a little biased, but everyone seemed to like them best. At the end, the audience could join in, and we all formed a big circle around the main square to dance the KOLO – a traditional dance. Whadduyaknow? I joined in! Doesn’t it look like fun? It was!
