The story

Kraina Mriy Festival in Kyiv

Kraina Mriy (Land of Dreams) is an international ethnic-music festival founded in 2004 by musician Oleh Skrypka, first held on Kyiv's Spivoche Pole. It runs in two seasonal formats: a summer edition timed to the Ivana Kupala holiday and a winter edition over Orthodox Christmas, January 6-8.

In 2004, the musician Oleh Skrypka, frontman of the influential Ukrainian rock band Vopli Vidoplyasova, took one of his band's own songs, Kraina Mriy, Land of Dreams, and turned it into the name of a festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival takes its name directly from a Vopli Vidoplyasova (VV) song, and its founder, VV frontman Oleh Skrypka, has historically performed at nearly every edition, blurring the line between a produced festival and a musician's own annual gathering

02

The mystery stays covered

It combines a main stage of ethnic and folk-rock music with a full folk-craft fair, a book market, and live demonstrations of traditional handicrafts, so visitors can watch objects being made rather than only buy them

03

The city starts moving

In 2024 it marked its 20th anniversary at Kyiv's Hryshko Botanical Garden, and in 2025, for the first time in its history, Skrypka and VV did not perform, with other artists covering the band's songs instead, a visible sign of the festival evolving beyond its founder
