Rye dough ritual figurine celebration took place in Kuzreka yesterday, August 8. That was the 8th event of this sort, and this time it attracted a crowd of 2000, including the representatives of the regional authorities and a bunch of folk music groups.
Part of the festival was the scarecrow competition. The only part of the festivities that made me regret I wasn’t there in person.
Here are some pictures of the event borrowed from hibiny.com:
PS. Unlike the neighboring Umba, Kuzreka is entirely open to foreign travellers.
