In the village of Sereda, fair festivities have been known for more than four hundred years, and this holiday is a continuation of ancient traditions.
There is an interesting legend. Once upon a time there was a peasant named Ustin Kroshilo in the village, in difficult times he was able to save church valuables from looting by the Poles. This holiday, which was celebrated on the third day after Trinity, is named in his honor.
On the first Saturday after Trinity, fans of ethnotourism, folklore and all those who want to spend a weekend away from the city gather for the holiday.
Folk groups, harmonicists and chastushechniki perform for the guests. They lead round dances, master classes where they learn to draw on clay, knit brooms, make a "Kroshilovo blanket" and real Russian okroshka, as well as much more.
There is a fair with goods from local manufacturers.
