DestinationRepublic of Mari El, Yoshkar-Ola
Heritage is an open–air theater where there are no spectators, only participants. The Middle Ages of the 9th–14th centuries will come to life right before your eyes – the era of warriors, merchants, blacksmiths, potters and itinerant craftsmen. For more than 15 years, this festival has been gathering reenactors from all over the country: from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Syktyvkar, Kazan, Samara, Chelyabinsk and other cities.
Since 2009, dozens of living history clubs have been participating in Heritage, and the festival itself has long gone beyond a local event and has become an important point on the map of cultural tourism in the Volga region.
The
Heritage Festival is loud, colorful, informative and very atmospheric. A real time machine without any special effects awaits you:
Where is the festival taking place? Of
course, in the most suitable place for this – in the Tsarevokokshaysky Kremlin, the heart of old Yoshkar-Ola and the main historical reconstruction of the republic. Only here the arcades of towers and bridges become real decorations for events that could have happened many centuries ago.
Why should I go?
More information about the festival, news and photos can be found in the official Heritage – Yoshkar-Ola group.
Heritage is not just a festival. This is the day when the past gets closer than the present. Meet me at the Tsarevokokshaysky Kremlin!
