Cultural heritage is often best understood through its vibrant expressions—be it food, music, dance, or the intricate details of traditional clothing.

The festival’s centerpiece, an exhibition of European national costumes, offered visitors a unique glimpse into the historical and cultural tapestries of Europe while underscoring the unifying power of art and tradition.
