The Csillagocska Children’s and Youth Folk Dance Meeting is an annual weekend event in Oradea for children and youth to learn and perform Hungarian folk dances. 1 It is organized by the Csillagocska Foundation and features workshops, play-based learning of folk traditions, and a gala performance. The aim is to introduce and endear participants to regional folk heritage in a playful way 1. The event brings together many child performers from Transylvania and Hungary, creating a family-like celebration of tradition. Past editions included craft workshops, folk skill games, and a gala show on Saturday, culminating in a Sunday church service 2 3.
The festival takes place in Oradea (Nagyvárad), a historical Hungarian community in Romania. It was founded by local folk-dance educators and is part of Hungary-related cultural life in the Partium region. Csillagocska programs are associated with the Reformed Church and Partium Christian University. The cultural context is preserving Hungarian folk traditions in Transylvania and engaging children in ethnocultural education through dance.
