FAKS - The Festival of Amateur Cultural Creativity is an international manifestation of a cultural, educational and entertaining character that unites choir and folklore festivals. It was created with the tendency to encourage lifelong learning and love for amateur creativity and increase the quality of life of amateur artists. The FAKS festival was once again recognized and included by the European Association of Festivals in the list of Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe (EFFE) and its official guide to European festivals for 2022/2023. It is a platform of international festivals that connects those festivals that are extremely committed to art, the community in which they operate and European values, and at the same time invites and informs the audience about the holding of these festivals throughout Europe.
Folkloric groups participating in this year's festival are Bulgarische Volkstänze Pendari Vienna from Austria, Folklorno društvo Vransko and Folklorno društvo Lesce from Slovenia, and from Croatia KUD Plesarin from Rovinj, Folklorno društvo Pazin and KUD Bosna from Pula.
