Ilinden Festival promises an explosion of folk dance

It's that time of the year when young Macedonian folk dancers put on their pig skin dancing shoes, secure their head scarves and costume details and finalise their make-up, as they prepare for the annual presentation of their cultural heritage. The Federation of Macedonian Cultural and Artistic Dance Groups (FOMKUD) will be staging its Ilinden Festival at the Bellagio Reception Centre on the 28th of July. Performance starts at 6pm sharp. Tickets at the door.
