You're reading: Krayina Mriy ethnic festival

“Krayina Mriy,” or “Country of Dreams,” is a well-tailored collection of gigs with an ethnic flavor.

Organizing it for the eighth time, musician Oleh Skrypka has become a national pride, of sorts.

“Country of Dreams” will present a two-day, open-air cocktail of music and crafts, dancing and singing, eating and drinking.

Ukrainian culture won’t be the only focus of the festival.

Tatar and Moldovan dancing classes, a demonstration of Japanese calligraphy art and origami and workshops on book-publishing techniques are among the highlights.

Skrypka will traditionally close the festival with Zabava jazz band.

Saturday, Sunday, June 25-26, Spivoche Pole, metro Arsenalna, www.krainamriy.com. Tickets: Hr 30-80.
