Held in September from Thursday to Saturday, this town festival celebrates Štiavnica’s rich history.
The tradition was started by students of the famous Mining Academy, and it has been held every year since. The highlight is the Salamander Parade, with more than 580 costumed figures portraying the history, work and life of the town’s people. Besides the parade, these days are full of music, a traditional fair, entertainment and good food. The town centre is closed to traffic during the festival.
