Organized by Oleg Skrypka, the legendary Ukrainian rock musician, the festival has been going for nine years, rain or shine.
The main aim of the festival is to revive traditional Ukrainian culture and to expose Ukrainians to other ethnic cultures, so the bands invited to play reflect that policy. Apart from rock and world music playing on the main stage, alternative stages will be offering ethnic Kobza concerts, master classes on Ukrainian dance and crafts, and other activities for adults and children.
Krayina Mriy. June 22-23. Spivoche pole. Hr 30-80
Wishing a great and successful edition to the organizers, with, maybe an increase in the foreign attendance thanks to Euro 2012, and a great moment of music and poetry to all the "dream-goers".
