An international festival in Alexandria in the Shklov district has opened with a large-scale fair featuring artisans from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. Its programme is so extensive that it is claimed to be the most ambitious in the history of the festival. The fair will be supplemented with performances by Belarusian and foreign artists.
The highlight of the first day of the festival will be a concert accompanied by a huge Kupala fire, a laser show and, of course, a firework display, to be followed by a night disco party.
