Khamoro means "sun" and the festival is usually held during the last week in May (this year, May 23 to 29). The festival features traditional gypsy music and modern gypsy jazz, as well as a dance workshop with the Frencyh group Romano Atmo (May 28 and 30), an exhibit on the Roma genocide during World War II (at the Slovak Institute until June 16) and a seminar on Romani identity (May 28 and 29).
