In Vitebsk, the flag of "Slavianski Bazaar-2021" was raised at night with a light show
This year, it was decided for the first time to hold the flag-raising ceremony at night - exactly at midnight. The ceremony on the grounds of the cultural and sports complex of the Summer Amphitheatre was enhanced by a light show performed by the youth theatre "Koleso", the choreography ensemble "Zorka", and the dance workshop "Gadget". This year, the flags of 33 participating countries will fly near the main stage of the festival.
Dimash Kudaibergen said that "Slavianski Bazaar" has become a special festival for him and other young performers. "I am glad to be here because I love Belarus, Vitebsk, and the festival very much. I have warm feelings for my now native stage," he said, adding that "Slavianski Bazaar" has its own style, it is established, and it does not need to imitate other music projects.
The second participant of the ceremony, Angelina Lomako, added that it is an honor for her to raise the festival flag. "We have just arrived from Minsk to Vitebsk, we haven't been here for a long time and we missed it very much. The city and the festival have become native to me," she said.
Today, the grand opening of the XXX International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" will take place in the Summer Amphitheatre. A new star will light up on the laureates' square near the Summer Amphitheatre. Here, Nikolay Baskov, the recipient of the special prize of the President of Belarus "Through Art - to Peace and Understanding," will be honored with a personal inscription.
The XXX International Arts Festival "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" is taking place from July 15 to 18, with the first events having started yesterday.
