Cultural-Artistic
Association "Slavko Mandić" from Laktaši has been preserving and
promoting the culture of folklore and national creation of this region for 30
years. In addition to the results on the international scene, their
performances and concerts in Laktasi are always a real attraction. They have a
large number of folk costumes and the reconstruction of the folk costume of the
Lijevče fields is done according to the original parts collected by field
research.
However,
the love for the tradition and culture of its people in Laktasi is also shown
by institutions and individuals. In order to preserve old crafts, the Laktaši
Tourist Organization has implemented the project “Opančarstvo”, thanks to which
a free training for the production of traditional footwear- opanci was held for
the interested participants.
Throughout
the world, culture and tradition of Laktasi region, through music represents
one of the highest quality and most wanted ethnic groups in the region, the
ethno group "Trag". The group "Trag" is made up of top
musicians from the Republic of Srpska and their mission is to find and choose
the most beautiful traditional folk songs, to make them live in their
arrangement, to breathe in the spirit of their generation and to imprint their
personal, creative seal.
In
the municipality of Laktasi, it is still possible to see some examples of old
forms of construction that are hundreds of years old. Old rigged houses and
even a few log cabins, dairies, barns, kosana and other accompanying objects
are real valuables and rarities that testify to folk construction in this
region.
In
some rural households, copies of old things, tools, furniture, old costumes and
other antiques are carefully preserved. Some households have real small family
museums.
At
the local rivers and streams, several old watermills are preserved, which
simply capture attention not only by their interesting architecture, but also
by the remarkable relaxing ambiences in which they are located. Most of them
are still in use.
Traditional
dishes and drinks are served in many catering facilities.
