A. The open-air folk-festival “Svyata Sontsa” has taken place in Dudutki since 2015. It is held on the day of the summer solstice and dedicated to the ancient tradition of Kupalle. The two-day festival invites its guests to visit the city of artisans where they can take part in various crafts workshops: pottery, wreaths weaving, straw weaving, jewellery making, and others. You should jump at the chance to buy a unique souvenir made of clay, linen, or glass at the Kupalle fair. In “Vyaskovaya ploshcha” street theatres, dance groups, and music bands put their lively performances on show. You can also participate in an archery competition at the shooting range and treat yourself to mouth-watering Belarusian cuisine in the food court. Of course, the “Looking for Paparats-kvetka” quest and jumping over Kupalle campfires will be lots of fun. Everyone looks forward to the main event of the festival, the Fire Fest. In the evening, you can join in a torchlight procession which will lead you to the River Ptsich. There you will become a spectator of an incredible fire show.

B. Shklou, a small town in Mahilou region, is often called “the cucumber capital of Belarus”. Almost every resident of the city grows cucumbers and they boast of having the largest cucumber plantations and the best cucumber harvest in our country. A bronze sculpture of a cucumber appeared in the town in 2007. Since then Shklou has been celebrating “Cucumber Day”, a traditional annual festival held in August. Many visitors from Belarus and abroad come to the festival to try the unusual Shklou cuisine including cucumber jam, cakes, pies, and lemonade. The main ingredient of all the dishes is, of course, cucumber. There is a wide variety of activities you can join in. The central square hosts the spectacular “Cucumber Parade” and the unforgettable theatrical performance “The Marriage of Mr Cucumber”. In the town park, you can take part in a variety of contests for the best cucumber dish, the best cucumber costume, or the most original vegetable and cucumber eating competitions. There are culinary workshops in which you can try your hand at artistic cucumber carving and salting cucumbers using traditional recipes. In the evening, everyone is welcome to chill out at the Colour Fest and the disco “Cucumber Fresh”.

C. The first international culinary festival “Motalskiya Prysmaki” was held in the agrotown of Motal in 2009. Since then it has become a remarkable event attracting hundreds of participants and guests every August. Numerous stalls present the best foods from local producers. The hit of the festival is tasting delicious dishes of Belarusian and European cuisine. While working their magic, famous chefs use old recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation over the centuries. The festival also includes farmers’ competitions, culinary workshops, sports competitions “Motalsikiya asilki”, and the “Art-kitchen” crafts fair. Local women treat guests to unusual dishes, for example, huge draniki, potato hearts, and vegetable bouquets [bu'keiz]. A colourful theatrical procession of people dressed in costumes of famous historical characters, Queen Bona Sforza’s traditional ball, and the Miss Beauty “Motalsikiya Prysmaki” show all turn the festival into an amazing performance. The festival ends with an 80–90s style disco and a spectacular fireworks display.
