About this episode:
In this episode, I traveled to Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, to attend a European fair called the Radvanský jarmok. This traditional European fair is dubbed “the fair of all fairs,” so I wanted to include this unique cultural festival in Europe in my travel vlog.
This is the 365th occurrence of this European festival. I traveled eight hours by bus, admiring the Slovakian landscapes, to get to the 2023 Radvanský jarmok. As this was my first European fair experience, I was surprised to see many crafts and artisans like blacksmiths, wood carvers, sewists and more creating their products right at their booths.
The views of the city and traditional Slovak folk costumes, or Kroj, helped me imagine medieval times. I went to the Banská Bystrica town castle and drank beer with some locals. I also ate Slovakian street food such as Langoš and Čerstvé Zemiakové Placky. The fair helped me appreciate traditional Slovakian culture. I got to listen to a lot of great Slovakian music as well.
Background:
The Radvanský jarmok fair in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, is a vibrant and historic cultural event that encapsulates the essence of Slovakian tradition and heritage. Dating back to the 17th century, this annual fair has become a cherished celebration of local culture, commerce, and entertainment.
The fair typically takes place in late August and attracts both locals and tourists alike. Its name, "Radvanský jarmok," is derived from the Radvan Valley, where it originated. The event features a colorful marketplace where vendors from across Slovakia showcase their artisanal crafts, traditional foods, and handmade goods. Visitors can browse through a diverse array of products, from handmade pottery to delicious Slovakian delicacies.
In addition to shopping opportunities, this European festival offers a lively atmosphere filled with music, dance performances, and cultural exhibitions. Folk music and dance groups from the region take center stage, providing a glimpse into the rich Slovakian folklore and traditions.
About Travel Lord On Location:
After living and working abroad for over 15 years, I've decided to share my experience and passion for travel, films, books and humor with others worldwide in my new travel vlog. This type of travel diary explores different countries through their own cinema, literature, events and places.
This travel vlog highlights some of the best destinations and attractions the Earth has to offer. But! Unlike other travel vlogs, here you'll know when things don't go according to plan. While traveling leads to unique experiences, new knowledge and fun opportunities, an equal amount of mishaps, scams, problems and general weirdness comes with it.
I hope my travel vlog encourages people to leave their comfort zones, learn a bit about a country they've never heard of, read a book from an author whose name they can't pronounce and flip on a movie with subtitles. Join me on my travel adventures and partake in the cultural exploration, hidden gems and sightseeing that comes with it!
