In the lead-up to National Unity Day, interregional fairs hosted events offering tastings of famous national dishes and foods from various Russian peoples.
For the holiday, Moscow fairs expanded their offerings to include products from farmers in Bashkortostan and Mordovia. A variety of Mordovian products are available at the Kuzminki fair, while Bashkir produce is on offer at the Veshnyaki site. The arrival of new participants was accompanied by introductions, where visitors could experience the culinary traditions of the peoples of these republics.
Participants from Bashkortostan delighted visitors with dancing and singing to live music and a tasting of echpochmak, chak-chak, and kumys. Representatives of the republic's government, industry, and students from agricultural universities participated in the event held at the interregional fair on Volgogradsky Prospekt. Guests were introduced to the republic's most famous products: Saransk condensed milk, cheese (for which many travel from various parts of the city specifically to Kuzminki), and meat delicacies from the best farms in the Republic of Mordovia.

Visitors can meet producers and ask questions about the specifics and history of their products.
The marketplaces at interregional fairs go beyond simple shopping. They offer opportunities to spend time with family and meet friends. Free rentals, convenient locations near metro stations, and modern pavilions make it possible to sell handmade or semi-automated products to those who don't compromise on quality for volume. This allows unique products, previously available only in the region where they were produced, to appear on the shelves.
Furthermore, the retail format allows for direct communication between the buyer and the producer. For example, a farmer from Karelia will advise when a fresh shipment is available, a cheesemaker from Tver will bring more of a favorite cheese for the holiday, and an orchard owner will advise on the best apples to buy for storage.
