"Such projects are of great importance for attracting tourists who want to see iconic places and get a unique experience of exploring Russian culture," said Irina Shirshova, Minister of Culture of the Yaroslavl Region. – At the festival, folklore groups will perform not on stage, but directly on the paths in the Kremlin, creating the effect of complete immersion in the atmosphere of antiquity. Traditional crafts, music and theater will make it possible to organize a celebration for different categories of visitors, from very young children to the elderly. Such events help in solving the tasks of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality", creating conditions for the development of domestic tourism.
