From July 7 to 12, 2025, Baku will be the center of world folklore! The VI International Folk Dance Festival “Friendship Bridge” will bring together dance groups from all over the world in a grand event where traditions will come to life and rhythms will shake the Caspian coast.

The capital of Azerbaijan is known for its unique blend of history and modernity. In the ancient Icheri Sheher, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, time seems to have stopped, while the futuristic Flame Towers symbolize the future. This contrast will serve as the backdrop for the festival, which promises to be more than just a cultural exchange – it will be a true journey through the traditions of different peoples.

During the festival, participants will have the opportunity to showcase their unique dance traditions to an international audience. Whether it’s folklore, Latin, or modern dance – the stage of the “Bridge of Friendship” is open to all. One of the most exciting requirements? Groups must carry the flag of their country to turn the event into a true parade of cultures.

If you imagine heavy organizational processes, don’t worry – participants will be accommodated in comfortable hotels with full board, and group leaders receive special bonuses. Professional stage equipment, transfers from the airport, and even souvenirs for each group are included. And if you travel with your own bus, the organizers will even take care of the fuel!
