So, to compensate for ethnic festivals drowned by the rain last week, head to Mamayeva Sloboda folk park only seven kilometers from the city center.
Ukrainian Kozaks, Tatar horsemen, Swedish Vikings and Italian knights will reconstruct old battles wearing proper gear and shouting war chants.
In this luscious village setting replete with old churches, wooden houses and bars, legendary musician Oleh Skrypka will continue the show.
A master of ethnic beats and sounds, he’ll give some old Ukrainian melodies a new life.
Spanish folk band Ethno Madrid will entertain with flamenco tunes.
To fit with the revelers, don’t forget to wear a traditional Ukrainian shirt, vyshyvanka. It’s a must-have for every participant.
