Extremadura International Folk festival

The Extremadura International Folk Festival is based principally in Badajoz, although there are also performances in more than a dozen other Extremadura towns and villages.

The event programme lasts ten days and is made up of around eight overseas folk groups, three acts from Spain as a whole, and ten or twelve from Extremadura itself. The festival is organised by the "Extremadura" Chorus and Dance Association. It comes to a perfect end with the "Gala of the Nations", where all the participants take part.
