Клуб ИЗБА Масленица / Maslenitsa - Festival of Russian Songs and Traditions
Join the IZBA club for a half-day special Shrovetide celebration – Maslenitsa – for grown-ups and kids alike!
At this festival of Russian traditions and folk music, guests will be welcomed with village songs and instrumental compositions, all from different regions of Russia and the Ukraine. There will be pancakes (‘blini’) aplenty – the symbol of the sun representing the shift from winter to spring. The arrival of Maslenitsa (Shrovetide) will be celebrated by making dolls under the guidance of a master doll-maker. There will also be traditional games and dancing.
