the organizer of the festival for the 13th year in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Multicultural festival &#8211; for us it means acceptance and support of various cultural forms and expressions of creativity. Cultural heritage, legends and traditions of different cultures and nationalities, people&#8217;s ability and desire to express themselves creatively make the world brighter, people more open, society more cohesive&#8221; &#8211; \u200b\u200bsays Irina Kurpniece, one of the organizers of the festival, chairman of &#8220;Alternativa realitate&#8221;.<br>The festival will also have a place for local and emerging musical and performing talents, providing a stage for musical groups, performers, choirs, who will voluntarily give their performances to the public. The festival as a whole is managed, organized and implemented by volunteers who invest their time and soul, dedicate their skills and knowledge to the needs of the festival, in order to create the most pleasant feeling and positive emotions for those attending the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Thanks to the European Solidarity Corps program, we have the opportunity to involve not only local enthusiasts in the organization of the festival, but also to invite young people from all over Europe. Volunteers get a great opportunity to dedicate their efforts to organizing a public cultural event that helps people become more united, better understand and support each other,&#8221; says volunteer coordinator Natalija Savina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>Free entrance and participation in most activities of the festival, as well as in tournaments and costume contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to the Count of May 2023!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Co-financed by the European Union.
