Folk traditions in the Slovácko ethnographic region find one of their most concentrated expressions in Kyjov, where the annual Slovácký rok festival, held every four years, brings together thousands of performers in regional costumes for processions, dances, and music drawn from the wine-growing communities of southeastern Moravia. Between festival years, smaller events and a folk museum maintain the cultural programme.
About 12,200 people live in Kyjov, which sits on the Kyjovka stream at the foot of the Ždánický les (Ždánice Forest) in the South Moravian Region. Vineyards cover the south-facing slopes around the town, and wine cellars in nearby villages form "plže" - rows of small wine houses built into hillsides that serve as social gathering places.

The Kyjov château, rebuilt in Renaissance style, houses the town museum. Milotice château, a well-preserved Baroque residence 10 kilometres south, is sometimes described as the "pearl of southeastern Moravia" for its period interiors and formal gardens.
