The non-traditional festival of bears in the Tatras is going to be held in the area of Hrebienok for four days from next Wednesday (31st July). “We can promise brand new Bear Days this year, with new attractions, competitions, games and a lot of educational activities for kids as well as adults. The venue will be new too. Stage shows will be offered in two locations. Thanks to the innovative educational activities and workshops, kids and their parents will get the chance to make their own toys or items of wood, plastic, wax, metal,” explained Lukáš Brodanský, the sales-marketing manager of the resort of Vysoké Tatry.
Kids can not only have fun but also learn a lot at the festival. “I am convinced that events of such kind should be organised in the Tatras. Children are the most sincere clients and that´s why we have done our best to pep this year´s Bear Days up,” added Mr. Brodanský.

Asterix and mayoral elections
Fans of music and the musical theatre will love the first festival day (31.7.) and an original performance about Asterix and mayoral elections. “The amusing educational project called Plasťáci (Plastic Guys) will be presented on stage too and the day will be hosted by entertainer Roman Féder,” informed Mr. Brodanský.
“The first day of August will include dance lessons of Credance, a successful dance-artistic group and a concert of the Hevi Dubi Komiks Band. “Daniel Hevier, a well-known writer, poet and storyteller will tell the kids about the secrets of reading, books and his work,” added Mr. Brodanský.

How to read and understand texts
The third festival day (2.8.) will offer a performance of the SĽUK ensemble called “Sounds Don´t Cause Suffering” and a workshop focused on reading skills and understanding texts.  “A beekeeper from Eastern Slovakia and a woodcarver will join the new Bear Days too and so will a man who makes items of straw, wire and honey,” said Mr. Brodanský. 
The last day of the Bear Days festival (3.8.) in Hrebienok will introduce the folklore band of Fidlikanti and their songs that kids can sing along with them. All age groups can look forward to the world musical hit – Cats. “The new Bear Days are definitely worth visiting this year,”
concluded Lukáš Brodanský.

It is not only the programme that is new at the Bear Days but also the parking system. New and better parking conditions will be available in Starý Smokovec. “Once all car parks in Starý Smokovec are occupied, cars can park at the Raimund guest house in Dolný Smokovec, from where free shuttle busses will be operating to the bus station of Starý Smokovec every 15 minutes from the early morning opening to 8:00pm,” explained Mr. Brodanský. In spite of the variety of parking options, the organisers suggest using public transport.
