The geography has expanded due to participation in various festival projects. The newly introduced street art festival "Na Semi Vetrakh" has generated great interest. The directorate received over 300 applications from theaters, artists, musicians, and poets. According to the organizers' concept, the city will transform into a large festival venue, and its residents and guests will become not only spectators but also participants in the celebration.

The program of the current "Slavianski Bazaar" includes 95 events, 18 of which will take place at the main venue in the Summer Amphitheater.
