The 32rd festival of traditional crafts, ÚĽUV Craftsmen Days 2022 took place traditionally on the first September weekend in Bratislava’s Old Town on Hviezdoslavovo square, Rybné square and Panská street in front of Bibiana. The main theme of this year’s festival was wood, specifically the Kyjatice toy, which was successfully added to the Representative List of Slovakia’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Old Town was alive with a fair of unique craft products combined with demonstrations of how they are made. The event was attended by over one hundred producers and masters from all around Slovakia, who showed their rare production techniques to local and foreign visitors.
