Dear friends!
Today marks the grand opening of the XXXV International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk"!
The northern capital of Belarus warmly welcomes participants and guests of this international forum from over fifty countries worldwide.
The program of the jubilee festival features numerous concerts, performances, film screenings, exhibitions and presentations, folk craft festivals "Gorod Maystrov" and "Belaruskae Padvor'e", the "Vitebsk Vernissage" fair, the street art festival "Na Semi Vetrakh", Youth Day, and other vibrant events. We are confident that they will spark genuine interest and leave lasting memories for the guests and residents of the festival capital.
"Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" is a unique cultural event that has become a hallmark of our region and of Belarus as a whole. Its inspiring motto, "Through Art – To Peace and Mutual Understanding," resonates with particular strength and relevance today, reminding us of the eternal values that unite peoples and countries.
May an atmosphere of peace, friendliness, and creativity prevail at all festival events!
Sincerely, A.N. Rogozhnik, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, and D.V. Demidov, Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Council of Deputies.
