Over the three decades of its history, the festival has brought together artists from more than 60 countries, and 770 performances are shown at its venues. The anniversary “White Vezha” was held under the motto “30 years together!” The gold fund of the festival”. Teams from Belarus, Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan came to Brest. The basis of the posters were new works of theaters that have already participated in the “White Vezh”, became its laureates and were remembered by the Brest public.

Theatrical life in Brest was not limited to evening shows. For ten days, “White Vezha” combined audience impressions with professional dialogue, and acquaintance with various theater schools continued outside the stage. The bright final chord of the festival was the meeting of Russian and Roma cultures. The Moscow Musical and Drama Roma Theatre "Romen", whose team has entered its 95th theatrical season, presented a theatrical concert program "Gypsies of Russia".

Angela Lekareva – In Brest we performed for the first time and were incredibly happy about it. We wanted to give the audience joy, happiness and good mood. We’ve heard a lot about White Vezh and have long dreamed of getting to the festival. Such meetings create the necessary exchange of emotions: the audience receive energy from the artists, and then return it to us, said Angela Lekareva, an artist of the Roman Theatre.

In general, throughout the festival, the interest of the public was confirmed by full halls.

- More than 10,000 people attended the performances. We are proud that the thirtieth anniversary "White Vezha" turned out to be worthy and bright, summed up the General Director of the Brest Academic Drama Theater Anna Senkovets.

The guests did not hide their emotions either. Brest citizen Margarita Dzhigan in ten days managed to visit several productions:

- I am very glad that we have the opportunity to see theaters from different countries in Brest, get acquainted with their culture and scenic traditions. You don't have to go anywhere to do that.
