DestinationMolevoye lake, Kilemarsky district
Dear friends! In July 2026, the traditional interregional Orthodox festival "Family – Small Church" will once again gather guests on the shores of Lake Molevoye in the Kilemarsky district of the Republic of Mari El. From July 13 to 16, everyone will enjoy a rich program dedicated to strengthening family values in the spirit of Orthodox traditions.
This festival has long been a good tradition for many families from different parts of Mari El and neighboring regions. It takes place in the field – the participants live in a tent camp, enjoying nature and socializing. The participation of whole families is especially welcome: every year there are more and more of them, because the first visitors to the festival have grown up, created their own families and now come with children to pass on the experience and traditions to the younger generation.
The program of the festival includes:
- joint prayers;
- meetings and conversations;
- fair of applied art products;
- craft workshops;
- psychological trainings for young parents and future spouses;
- evenings with creative performances;
- sports tournament;
- exciting games;
- "the path of courage";
- intellectual battles and much more.
Everyone will find something to do, from outdoor activities to deep discussions of spiritual and moral topics.
Come to Molevoe Lake, a place where faith is strengthened, friendship is born, and love for God and neighbor grows. This is a great opportunity to spend time with benefits for the soul and body in a circle of like-minded people!
