Zdynia is the place of the Lemko Watra

" Feast of Lemko Culture, Lemko Watra in Zdynia (Łem. Żdynia) is a time of annual meetings, extremely important for the Lemkos: generational, family and friendly. Meetings that unite us with a common song, gather around important matters. That was the initial idea Wladyslaw Graban people linked to the Representative Song and Dance Ensemble Łemkowyna from Bielanka. The first Watry was the group's artistic workshops, which grew stronger each year.
Lemko Watra wandered around the Lemko region, first to Czarna (near Uście Gorlicki) in 1983, 1984, then to Hańczowa in 1985 and Bartne in 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989. Initially, these were small, informal meetings, and with time evolved into today's form of a large festival. All these changes are the fruit of many years of hard work of many people.
