The 'Cherry Festival' has started in Glubokoye
The "Cherry Festival" has once again transformed Glubokoye into a magical city filled with the taste of ripe and juicy berries. The Queen of the "Cherry Capital" has united fairy tale and reality into a single event, filling the celebration with a variety of contests, concerts, and meetings. The festival has become a favorite among Belarusians and has found friends beyond the country's borders. Delegations and creative groups from the Tambov and Smolensk regions of the Russian Federation, Georgia, Latvia, Armenia, India, Korea, and Japan have arrived in Glubokoye.
Life has shown that one day is not enough for such an event. Therefore, this year it began on the eve of the weekend. The youth forum, which was attended by representatives of the younger generation from eight districts of the region, marked the start. And the first topic for discussion was "The Significance of the Festival Movement in Promoting Brands, Establishing Partnerships, and Preserving Cultural Traditions."
The youth planted a cherry orchard on the grounds of the Cherry Queen's residence and became the first visitors to the exhibition "Traditions and Culture of Japan," which was set up in the exhibition hall of the historical and ethnographic museum. The "Cherry Queen" herself received guests at her residence, where she answered the questions of curious visitors about the history of the festival, its traditions, what surprises awaited this time, and invited them to explore the works of local artisans at an exhibition displayed in her estate. Meanwhile, the artisans themselves, not only from Glubokoye, who are engaged in willow weaving, gathered for an outdoor session.
