Dozen of straw-artists created various straw sculptures and buildings which were burnt at the end of festival. Every year artists are making a main figure which is the largest and which is going to be burnt at the end of festival.

The straw artwork which has been burnt this year was a huge tower completely made from straw. There was also a rich offer of various domestic food and drinks for hungry visitors. Here you can see some beautiful photos from this festival.
