Folklore Association VAL Piran organises the MIFF - Mediterranean International Folklore Festival - from the year 2003 on. The purpose of the MIFF Festival is to present to the public the folklore dances, music and singing and the cultural variety of the Mediterranean countries.  

Throughout the festival we would like to build the friendship chain between Mediterranean countries.

The event take part on the Slovenian Coast: in the old medieval city of Piran, on the Tartini Square and The 1st May Square or, in case of bad weather, in the Tartini Theatre, in the congress-spa resort Portoroz, in Koper on the Carpaccio square and in Izola on Manzioli square or on "Lonka". In Izola the festival is organized together with our partner Center for culture, sport and events from Izola.
