This is a traditional event with folk customs, but also lively pre-party entertainment on Friday with famous names (Čechomor, Čankiša, Golden Delicious) and a relaxed concert on Sunday, recapitulating thirty years of the existence of the group Cimbal Classic, which includes the two main protagonists in Líšní live. Singer Hana Ulrychová (Javory) and the group Mariachi Espuelas, interpreting Mexican music, will perform as guests of the band.
Lišeňské hody can boast of an annual increase in visitors and positive responses from spectators and performers. The head of the Líšňáci Ethnographic Ensemble, Alena Kučerová, adds: “We are very lucky that the original costume has been preserved in Líšňá, and that even the current young generation appreciates their charm. The Moravian conversation is danced by 7 columns, which is 28 couples, i.e. 56 people in costume. Both adults and children.”
It is not the intention of the organizers that the feast be different every year. We are proud to stick to tradition and older residents can reminisce and “reminisce”. But not only the elderly, many children and young people regularly participate in the parade and the following program. In addition to music and dance, visitors can choose from a wide range of food and drink, handicrafts, this year they can also buy, for example, a cut-out doll with a fox costume or a re-edition of a book by local native František Elpl entitled A series of fairy tales and legends collected in Líšn near Brno in Moravia.
