TV project "Igrai Garmon!" to become the guest of "Karavon" festival

Already in the 24th  time will be held in Tatarstan-Russia festival of folklore "Karavon". More about the program of the event told  at a press conference in  IA "Tatar-Inform"  head of department of the Ministry of culture of the Republic of Tatarstan Lilia Akhmetzyanova, director of the National Center of Traditional Culture Fanzilya Zavgarova, deputy director of the National Center of Traditional Culture Gali Gabdrakhmanov and  head of the culture department of the executive committee of Laishevo district of the republic Ilnur Gainiev.

Lily Akhmetzyanova reminded  that since the beginning of the summer in Tatarstan begin to celebrate national holidays, which are rooted in antiquity. In addition to "Karavon" is a Tatar holiday "Sabantui", Udmurt culture festival "Gyron bydton",  Mordovia   holiday (Mordovians-Moksha) culture "Valda shinyas",  festival of huvash Zakamye "Uchuk",  holiday of Chuvash culture "Uyav" and celebration of  Kryashens fete  " Pitrau ".

Festival of Russian folklore "Karavon", which will be held May 29 in the village of Nikolskoye of the  Laishevo region of Tatarstan, has its own characteristics. During the last few years we carried out studies of the roots of this event. It was  found out that the festival was held in honor of St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker - the patron saint of the Russian people and the defender of the peasants. Residents  Nikolsky referred  to the saint with special respect, because  it was he who gave the name to the village.

On the day all brides, wearing the most beautiful dress, went to the meadow and  performed circle dances. It was  a bride-show. For year  to be  fruitful and for all to have a smiling luck, it was necessary to perform a series of rituals.

Special guests of the festival will be the TV project "Igrai Garmon" and Anastasia Zavolokina.
