Moscow supported the holding of the XV Interregional Creative Festival of Slavic Art “Russian Field.” The corresponding decree was signed by Sergey Sobyanin.
The festival will take place on the territory of Victory Park on Poklonnaya Hill on August 22. It is dedicated to the Year of National Unity of the Peoples of Russia, declared by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin.
The largest folklore festival in the capital will bring together people who are in love with the country’s history, its songs, folk crafts, and decorative-applied arts. It is expected that this year the event will gather about two thousand participants, and the guests will number no less than 150 thousand people, for whom several thematic festival venues will operate.
The ceremonial part will be held on the main stage (“Musical Square”). Invited artists, professional and amateur vocal and dance groups will perform for the guests. The climax of the celebration will be a concert by the Bolshoi Russian Choir.
At the “Regions Square,” individual tents of manufacturers and artisans from various regions of the country will showcase their works, conduct master classes on making unique folk craft items. In the “Fashion Row,” designers will show their collections of Russian and ethnic costumes, and at the fair, visitors will not only be able to see but also purchase items they like.
