The story

Jaratman Village Fest in Cholpon-Ata

Jaratman Ayil Fest, held in Cholpon-Ata over three days around late March in one documented edition, functions more as a blogger and content-creator expedition tied to ecological cleanup and rural tourism development than as a conventional public festival. Organized through the Jaratman Ayil social project with Tourism Development Support Fund backing, it centers on rock-cleaning actions and development discussions rather than open entertainment programming.

Jaratman Ayil Fest, held in Cholpon-Ata from March 27 to 29 in one documented edition, describes itself less as a conventional cultural festival than as a socio-cultural media expedition, bringing bloggers, content creators, entrepreneurs, and local residents together around a shared agenda of ecological awareness and rural tourism development.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The event's defining feature is its blogger-and-creator format: rather than staging performances for a general audience, organizers bring digital content producers, entrepreneurs, and local residents together to jointly clean rock inscriptions and graffiti from natural sites while discussing rural tourism development strategies

02

The mystery stays covered

This gives Jaratman a working-expedition character closer to a media and development campaign than a craft fair or sport gathering, distinguishing it sharply from Cholpon-Ata's larger, more visitor-facing summer events
