Amaro Fest is an international Roma festival established with the aim of creating a space to showcase Roma culture, music, dance, and talented artists. Over time, the event has evolved into a festival that brings together people of different generations, offering visitors the opportunity to discover Roma culture through music and live performances.

Since its inception, Amaro Fest has steadily grown. Each edition has introduced new performers, musical groups, and accompanying programs. The festival has created opportunities for both established artists and young talents, giving them a platform to present their art to the general public.Its international character has gradually become a significant feature of the festival. Performers from various cities and countries have taken the stage, thereby fostering a space for cultural exchange and mutual understanding.

Amaro Fest is not merely a musical event; it also serves as a venue for social and community interaction. The festival caters to families, children, young people, and the older generation alike. Accompanying activities and family-oriented programming create an atmosphere where visitors can meet, have fun, and share in the festival experience together.

Through its continued development, Amaro Fest has become a key part of the activities of the Roma Art Agency (OZ RUA), an organisation dedicated to supporting Roma culture, art, and artistic creation. ### The Milestone 10th Edition.
