Events » First Old Time Sunday festival "Leb i Vino", Spatovo 2010 » Rules

Leb I Vino Fair is not a mainstream festival, the aim is to not have performers and audience, there is no stage and microphones.

You are invited to singing, playing and dancing contests, which are not competitions, as there are no awards or rankings.

The goal of the fair is to restore the tradition of the ancient fairs, where everyone is a participant and a spectator at the same time.

Please, carry your modern-day necessities (handbags, personal belongings, cell-phones) in handmade bags, saddlebags or baby slings!

You should respect and accept several very IMPORTANT rules:

1. You must bring a handmade cover to sit on (rug, carpet, etc., handmade ONLY).
2. Every participant must wear a complete traditional costume. People without costumes will not be admitted, even if they are group leaders. We ask the “leaders”, chauffeurs, assistants, secretaries, chairs and others to wear costumes as well. Please, be informed, that this year partial costumes ARE NOT allowed.
3. DO NOT bring packaged food, plastic bags, nylon, plastic boxes, newspapers or any factory-made food. The dishes for the Country Lunch contest should be arranged in traditional vessels (wooden or brass vessels, pottery, etc.).
4. There is no schedule for the performances. Every participant is free to decide when to perform if the overall mood allows it.
5. Everyone, who is invited, should participate from start to finish. Your part does not end after your own song or dance performance. Wearing costumes is mandatory at all times.
6. Authentic behavior (traditional singing or dancing style, an effort to learn from older participants). Modern folklore dancing and singing styles are not tolerated. Every guest-participant must adhere to the traditional style and use the time spent here to learn something new, something close to the local style, and not to spoil the overall look of the fair by using ballet choreographic style.

There will be symbolic rope enclosures. Only people, who meet the festival requirements, may come in to sing, dance, play or watch the official concert. Guests, who can not or would not get a costume, must stay outside the enclosure as viewers.
