The Military and Historical Festival in Crimea
The six-day multi-age excursus into the history of the region will let residents of Crimea and the guests of the festival re-live the highlights of Crimea chronicles.
Fifteen historical episodes will unfold in front of the guests starting from the era of ancient Rome to the present days.
"The Middle Ages" and "The New Age" will become the main sites of the event. All themed spaces will operate daily in interactive way, yet each day of the festival will be dedicated to the particular historical period:
September 9 – The Day of Antiquity
September 10 – The Day of Ancient Russia
September 11 – The Day of the Middle Ages
September 12 – The Day of the Crimean War,
September 13 – The Day of the Great Patriotic War
September 14 – The Day of polite people.
Since Crimean festival is planned as the destination for a family holiday, its programme will be developed in such a way that visitors of any age and gender could find activity and entertainment they like.
In the "Middle Ages" one may attend master classes on blacksmithing and pottery, weaving, wood processing and other traditional crafts. For all who want to try their hands archery and crossbow shooting ranges will operate, training on how to handle medieval weapons will be held, too. The hay fortresses will wait for children where they may play knights to their heart content. For kids tailored master classes and entertainments will be organized.
At the site of "The New Time" in front of the guests the episodes from the history of Crimean and the Great Patriotic War will come to life.
Shooting range with the models of weapons of WWII, nursing courses and obstacle course will become the main interactive zones.
At the site an artillery redoubt from the time of the First defense of Sevastopol will be recreated and the models of the tanks involved in the Great Patriotic War will be placed.
