In around thirty years, the European Heritage Days (EHD) have grown from local one-day events, to a Europe-wide collection of ‘mini-festivals’. In those years the events has inspired numerous local traditions. On the website of the EHD you can now find a selection of the most exciting local traditions that enable citizens to explore their heritage every year.
