The story

Svyata Sontsa Kupalle Folk-Rock Festival in Dudutki Museum Complex

Dudutki's open-air museum grounds turn into a ticketed concert site each summer for Svyata Sontsa, a folk-rock festival built around the Kupalle midsummer theme. Held on the banks of the Ptich River at the Dudutki museum of folk crafts, about 40 kilometers from Minsk, the festival has run since 2016 and pairs a folk and folk-rock concert stage with a large fire show, a craft fair and dozens of interactive activity zones.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Svyata Sontsa from a village Kupalle bonfire is its production scale and museum setting: a folk-rock concert stage, a large-scale fire and pyrotechnic show, and more than thirty interactive activity zones are staged on the grounds of the Dudutki open-air museum, giving visitors both a music festival and a working folk-crafts museum in a single visit

02

The mystery stays covered

Running since 2016, it has built a reputation as one of the country's more elaborate Kupalle-themed events, distinct from both informal village celebrations and from other produced festivals elsewhere in Belarus

03

The city starts moving

Structured versions of traditional rituals, including wreath-weaving and fire-jumping, let visitors take part in Kupalle customs without needing a village connection
