KPD "Kranjčević" - Bački Breg - Yugoslavia  The young ensemble preserves old traditions of the Sokatz people from Batchka region (Vojvodina). All the costumes are home-made and the people use them at festive occasions of the village up to the present.
KUD "Ravnica" - Oštra Luka Bok - Bosnia-Hercegovina  The ensemble presents the old folklore and customs of Croatians from Bosanska Posavina (northern part of Bosnia). The major part of folk costumes used on the performances is original, created from the first half of the century. 
Podravske Sesvete - Croatia  The orchestra "Old Tamburitzans" is playing the unmodified folk music of its village. In the past all village streets had its own tamburitza band. Now they are the only one. The sum of the age of the six musicians is 408 years.
"Biseri Drave" - Starin -Hungary The members of this tamburitza orchestra are young people from the village near the Drava river called Starin. They continue the living tradition of playing and dancing original songs and dances of the village.
KUD "Tanac" - Pécs - Hungary   The host ensemble of the festival. It celebrates 10th anniversary this year. The ensemble reached the "excellent" qualification in the competition of folk dance groups of Hungary (1996, 1998). The repertoire contains mainly Croatian dances from Hungary.
KUD "Kvadrilja" - Trogir - Croatia  At the time of marshal Marmonta the dance "kvadrilj (quadrille)" was fashionable in the majority of Dalmatian towns, but only the people of Trogir have preserved it up to the present. From the French original only a name "balanse" remained, the dance is quite new, called "trogirska četvorka". It starts with "promenade", continues with first, second, third and fourth "bal", and ends with furious polka. It is presented with  the accompaniment of mandolin orchestra.
KUD "Vranovci-Bukovlje" - Vranovci-Bukovlje - Croatia  The preservation of folk customs that more or less are coming to an end in Vranovci-Bukovlje began in the 50's. In 1978 a new cultural-artistic association was founded, which has been working up to the present. From the numerous folk customs of the village the association has many examples in its program and saves them from the oblivion in this way.
