Armored reenactors clash on a mock battlefield at Dudutki each July when Our Grunwald restages the 1410 Battle of Grunwald for a crowd of thousands. Belarus's oldest and largest historical reenactment festival, running since 2008, brings knights' clubs from Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Russia to the open-air museum complex for jousts, archery contests, mass battle scenes and folk-rock concerts.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Our Grunwald's core strength is authenticity of scale: as the oldest and largest reenactment festival in Belarus, running since 2008, it draws real military-historical reenactment clubs from five countries rather than a handful of local hobbyists, and its mass battle scene recreates a specific, historically documented event rather than a generic medieval theme

02

The mystery stays covered

The choice of subject matters too, since the Battle of Grunwald involved the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, whose territory included much of present-day Belarus, giving the festival a direct claim to national historical relevance rather than borrowing a foreign story

03

The city starts moving

Layering knight tournaments, archery, equestrian contests and folk-rock concerts around the central battle keeps the day varied rather than a single long spectacle

The battlefield viewing areas are grass and dirt, so closed shoes with good grip work better than sandals, especially given the crowds gathering for the main reenactment.
