The venue for the event will be the picturesque Urkusta Park in the village of Peredovoe. There will be a real holiday dedicated to the summer solstice — an astronomical phenomenon when the sun is at its highest point for the whole year. The organizers of the festival claim that since ancient times, on the day of the summer solstice, all the peoples of the earth, regardless of nationality and place of residence, unanimously celebrated this holiday of the blossoming of nature.

It is believed that at this time fire and water are friends, although they are opposing elements.— say the organizers of the project, the finalists of the «Creative Workshop».

Also at the event will be organized sites for blacksmithing, glass bead making, casting pewter figurines, archery.
On the evening of Friday, June 23, guests of the event will enjoy a fascinating lecture by Sergey Nazarov, a researcher at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, about the Sun and other stars. Those who wish will be able to observe the stars and the setting moon through a telescope. On Saturday, June 24, there will be a grass carpet weaving site that claims to be the most amazing and fragrant location of the festival. Also, everyone will be able to weave a wreath of medicinal herbs and buy herbal tea at the fair, or on Sunday, prepare the herbal collection by joining the picturesque herb hike.
