The folklore festival "Polissian Summer with Folklore" will take place from July 19-25 next year. This was announced at a press club meeting by Yuriy Voynarovskyi, head of the culture department of the Lutsk city executive committee. Invitations to participate in the festival have been sent to foreign groups from Peru, Argentina, the USA, France, and Scotland. It was emphasized that the festival is non-commercial and therefore the maximum number of Lutsk residents and guests of the city will be able to attend it. The total budget of "Polissian Summer with Folklore" will be 360 thousand hryvnias - a small sum for such an event. However, last year the festival did not take place precisely because of a lack of funds.
Reference: The festival "Polissian Summer with Folklore" has been held every July in the city of Lutsk since 1994. "Polissian Summer with Folklore" is the only artistic event in the world that unites two independent folklore festivals in neighboring countries (the city of Włodawa, Lublin Voivodeship, Republic of Poland and the city of Lutsk, Ukraine): it has two directors - Janusz Kalinowski and Yuriy Voynarovskyi. The festival is accredited by the International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Traditional Arts (CIOFF). During its existence in Lutsk, folklore groups from 40 countries on 5 continents of the world have visited.
