The story

Benoy Spring Folk Art Festival in Novy Benoy

Benoevskaya Vesna is an annual Chechen folk culture and sport festival held in the highland village of Benoy in the Nozhai-Yurt district, first staged in 2015. Far from a small performance evening, it spans three venues, the village itself, Mount Ashne-Te and the Shira-Bena ethnographic museum, and combines folk performance with national sport competitions.

Chechen society has long been organized around teips, clan groupings that carry deep historical and territorial significance across the North Caucasus, and the Benoy teip is among the most prominent of these lineages.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes Benoevskaya Vesna is its scale and its sporting core: alongside folk art and craft displays, the festival runs National Games across twelve traditional disciplines, including belt wrestling, stone lifting, rope pulling and climbing, plus a lamb-leg throwing competition and paired national dance contests

02

The mystery stays covered

Staged across three separate sites tied to the Benoy teip's home territory, the village, a named mountain and a dedicated ethnographic museum, it functions as one of the larger fixtures on the Chechen Republic's combined cultural and sporting calendar rather than a purely artistic showcase
