Здесь – вся красота народных традиций | Как прошло Купалье в Александрии?

Loud gatherings of friends with festivities that lasted until the night were held in Alexandria. The tradition of celebrating Kupala with bonfires and fortune-telling with wreaths is certainly ancient. But a relatively new interpretation, with a music festival on the banks of the Dnieper, has modernized the format. The scale is growing year after year. The very first celebration once attracted three thousand guests, and now tens of thousands come, including folk artists from far-flung regions of Russia.
