We’ve put together a summary of the most important events for you here:
The spa season opens with a festival on the last Sunday of May with a lively programme: dance, music, culinary specialties, and activities for children are all on offer. Historic vehicles and traditional crafts are also presented at the festival. Arrive in town in time for the festival and celebrate the start of the spa season in Smrdáky.
Smrdáky is mainly known as a spa village. However, viticulture also has an important place here. Viticulture and wine production have a centuries-old tradition in the village. This is evidenced by the coat of arms of the village itself, which bears the symbol of a vineyard knife and bunches of grapes. The wine harvest has a long tradition in the village of Smrdáky and is organised in cooperation with the Záhorie Wine Route Civic Association as well as with the municipal winemakers who are members of the association. The wine harvest brings together not only the citizens of Smrdáky and neighbouring villages, but also the clients from the spa. The event begins with a festive costumed procession to the village square, continues with the ceremonial handing over of a bunch of grapes, a cultural programme and entertainment until late.
The folklore festival has been held in the Trnovce Myjava Amphitheatre since 1976, and gains popularity each year. Don’t miss the dance and music performances by folklore groups in traditional costumes. It’s pure Slovak culture. You won’t be able to resist the festival’s cheer.
