The event continues the old tradition of festivals organised by the Peasant Concord, a cultural, educational and humanitarian organisation of the Croatian Peasant Party from the time between the two World Wars. In modern-day Croatia, the InternationalFolklore Festival has become part of the global movement led by UNESCO that aims to safeguard intangible cultural heritage. In 2014, the Croatian Ministry of Culture and the City of Zagreb pronounced it a festival of national significance.
