Belarusian delegation visits Russia’s Kemerovo Oblast
On October 4, Chashniki will become the epicenter of the rural workers' celebration, hosting the regional festival-fair "Dazhynki". The program is filled with gastronomic delights, spectacular events, and folk festivities.
Starting at 10:00 AM, guests are invited to immerse themselves in an atmosphere of abundance. The gastronomic festival "From Liozno to Braslav" and the "Belarusian Cuisine" fair will open, where each themed courtyard of the Vitebsk region districts will offer its unique regional "prysmaki" (delicacies) and specialties. Simultaneously, an exhibition-sale of products from the leading enterprises of the northern region will unfold. In numerous catering points, visitors will be able to enjoy not only traditional dishes but also exquisite delicacies for which each district is famous. From the same time, thematic sites of various departments will begin their work, and the "craftsmen's town" will present works by masters from all over the Vitebsk region. Technology enthusiasts will be delighted by the "Steel Strength of Agrarians" agricultural machinery exhibition, where they can not only examine modern domestic equipment designed for field work and harvesting but also take memorable photos. Fans of baking art will find the regional exhibition-competition of karavai (traditional bread) from the enterprises of the "Vitebskhlebprom" association. Here, true works of art will be presented – from mills made of dried bread rings and sweet compositions to the main karavai of the festival, impressing with its one-and-a-half-meter dimensions, exquisite decor, and the boundless imagination of the masters.
In addition to culinary and craft sites, the festival will offer dynamic entertainment. Lovers of active recreation and thrills are welcome from 12:00 PM. The mighty heroes of the Vitebsk region, strong not only in spirit but also in body, will be able to demonstrate their strength in the regional strongman competitions, while young athletes will compete in mini-football and volleyball. If the weather is favorable, guests will have a unique opportunity to take to the sky and see Chashniki from a bird's-eye view – organizers will offer flights on hang gliders and hot air balloons.
For the youngest attendees and their parents, a whole "Children's Town" with attractions will open at the stadium of Secondary School No. 4. Here, the Belarusian Theatre "Lyalka" will present the interactive play "Kolobok," and also conduct engaging master classes and various interactive activities. Older children can test themselves in a karaoke quiz, a quest game, and take vibrant selfies in a themed photo zone to preserve memories of "Dazhynki." Enthusiasts of fast two-wheeled transport are invited to a motorcycle exhibition. And from 4:00 PM, professional DJs playing energetic and rhythmic mixes will be responsible for the guests' mood.
The culmination of the festival will be the program on the main stage on Sovetskaya Street. At 2:00 PM, a solemn ceremony will be held to honor the frontrunners of the Vitebsk region's agro-industrial complex, whose diligent work and professionalism have made an invaluable contribution to the region's current abundant harvest. In the evening, at 6:00 PM, a grand concert will begin with the participation of stars of the national stage, which will smoothly transition into a spectacular fireworks display at 8:00 PM. After the bright salute, guests of the regional "Dazhynki" will be treated to a mesmerizing laser show and a night disco, where everyone can dance to their heart's content to their favorite rhythms.
