The 'Cherry Festival' has started in Glubokoye
July 21, 2025
The Cherry Festival has once again turned Glubokoye into a magical town filled with the taste of ripe and juicy berries. The Queen of the Cherry Capital has united fairy tale and reality into a single event, filling the celebration with a variety of contests, concerts, and meetings. The festival has been loved by Belarusians and has found friends beyond the country's borders. Delegations and creative groups from the Tambov and Smolensk regions of the Russian Federation, Georgia, Latvia, Armenia, India, Korea, and Japan have arrived in Glubokoye.
Life has shown that one day is not enough for such an event. Therefore, this year it began on the eve of the weekend. The start was given by a youth forum, in which representatives of the younger generation from eight districts of the region took part. And the first topic for discussion was "The importance of the festival movement in promoting brands, establishing partnerships, and preserving cultural traditions."
The youth planted a cherry orchard on the territory of the Cherry Queen's residence and became the first visitors to the exhibition "Traditions and Culture of Japan," which was opened in the exhibition hall of the historical and ethnographic museum. The Cherry Queen herself received guests in her residence, where she answered the questions of curious visitors about the history of the festival, its traditions, what she would surprise them with this time, and invited them to get acquainted with the works of local artisans at an exhibition held in her estate. The artisans themselves, and not only those from Glubokoye, who are engaged in wickerwork, gathered for an open-air event at that time.
