The International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk” is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation.
The opening ceremony of the XXXIV International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" took place in Vitebsk. It is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation, as well as the revival and development of artistic culture and art.
At the opening ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk read out the welcoming words of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the festival participants and guests: “Dear friends! I cordially welcome you on the occasion of the opening of the next, XXXIV International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk”.
The festival, held in the ancient and beautiful Belarusian city, makes a significant contribution to strengthening spiritual ties between the fraternal Slavic peoples, to the development of mutually beneficial humanitarian cooperation. Its motto – "Through art to peace and mutual understanding" – sounds especially relevant in the current difficult international conditions.
This year the program of the "Slavianski Bazaar" is very rich and diverse. Several festival venues will host performances by famous singers and artists, musical, folklore and pop groups, numerous theatrical productions, exhibitions and presentations. Much attention is paid to the children's audience: various creative competitions for young performers are planned.
A special place in the program is occupied by events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War – the most important event in our common history. I am sure that the great power of art will help preserve the grateful memory of the glorious deeds of our fathers and grandfathers who fought shoulder to shoulder against the fascist invaders, and pass on to the younger generations the good traditions of fraternal friendship and mutual assistance bequeathed by them.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who took part in organizing the festival, wish its participants inspiration and success, and the guests – bright, unforgettable impressions.”
The International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" has been held since 1992. This year, artists from more than 40 countries are taking part in it; the festival events are taking place in Vitebsk from July 8 to 14.
