Traditional festivities "Seeing Winter"

Say goodbye to Winter in the Principality of Kyivan Rus

Do you remember how fun it was in winter when you were a child – playing snowballs, riding sledges, rolling in the snow? And completely happy after you run into the warm house looking like a snowman. Then one day you walk down a street and notice how the icicles are dripping from all the roofs and there is a whole rainbow in those drops. You are smiling at everybody around. You know the Spring is coming. Would you like to return in those carefree days when the trees were big?

Come to Ancient Kyiv on February, 27 and 28 to say goodbye to Winter and greet Spring, with a lot of amusements, joy and fun. The presence of good mood is the only rule. In order to follow this rule start the day off from pleasure. Have a ride in a sledge or a carriage, feel the light running of the princely horses.

Take a mask or an original costume with you – and enjoy your time at a full swing on the medieval masquerade! Don’t have a mask or your own costume? Turn beyond recognition with the help of our costumier. Original costumes and clothes will improve the mood and create the desired image, and for keeping the memories about this wonderful and bright day for a long time – make interesting photos in the photo locations and just on the territory of the Principality.

Watch the unique theatrical author`s performance. Come to know the ancient traditions of the ancestors and spend winter according to the ancient Slavic rites. All of this you can see performed by the theatre of Ancient Kyiv.

Thank the princess Winter for all the good that happened to you during the Winter: nice surprises, merry snowy holidays, personal success. And for getting rid of all the problems – pass through the ancient ritual of cleansing. Write all the troubles on a sheet of paper and burn it in the fire together with the evil heart`s symbol Korochyn.

Do you want this Spring to become the most successful for you? Make a wish and taste the sunny korovai that the sage will regale you in the Park. Take a piece of happiness with you to the Spring!

On the territory there will be working the medieval shooting range where everybody will have a possibility to shoot a bow and toss spears and knives. It will be possible to ride purebred horses or in a carriage, mint a memorable coin on the Princely Mint, make a souvenir with your own hands on the folk crafts master-classes or buy a ready one in a shop or on the street of masters.

A feeling of adrenaline for the guests will be provided by the fascinating zipline Politailo, on which everyone can not only descend from a height, but also fly over the lake and the high-speed slide “Zmiy Gorynych”, after which it will be possible to take a picture with a fire-breathing dragon.
