Colorful and beautiful. How the regional festival of village workers "Dazhynki-2026" is held in Korelichi

By the regional festival-fair of workers of the village of Grodno region "Dazhynki-2026" the city village of Korelichi has significantly changed. Updated facades of buildings, new facilities, landscaped areas. Today, September 26, the village sings and dances from the very morning. It was everything from tasting local delicacies to incendiary dances to your favorite hits, from master classes to various exhibitions.

A special flavor and home atmosphere pleased the farmsteads of the districts of the Grodno region, each of which glorified the results of the work of its village workers. Each farmhouse has its own flavor. Astravetsky district surprised with a large-scale exhibition of apple products, Shchuchinsky with dishes of local masters - dranics, pancakes and Shchuchin ear, Smorgon district paid much attention to a woman-combiner, presenting even an improvised harvester.

The representative of the Korelich cheese shop of the Novogrudskie Gifts branch of OJSC Lida Milk and Canning Plant Larisa Rapovets shared her impressions of the holiday:

- Korelichi was very transformed for the grandiose holiday "Dazhynki-2026". A lot of improvement work was done: a lot of asphalted streets, a house was commissioned and a hostel was reconstructed, a chic stadium was made and much more. This is a reason to be proud of our village. Today there is a real festive atmosphere, we are happy to welcome guests of our village. I represent the Novogrudskie Gifts farmstead, where a huge 150-pound loaf of different types of cheese was prepared this year. We created it for a week, and in it, as in the bread loaf, there is also warmth and care of the hands of our masters.

Bright participants of the holiday Milana Romanchuk and Margarita Strakovskaya, who presented a theatrical production at one of the locations dedicated to the popular Grodno dish “Gubertika”, shared their emotions:

- The impressions are cool, I really like to perform at such bright events. We have been visiting the exemplary dance studio “Children of the Galaxy” of the Vertelishkovo Center of Culture for about five years. This gives us such a wonderful opportunity to be participants and guests of such colorful and large-scale events.

- For the first time I visited such a festival of villagers and were very pleased. My husband is from Korelichi, so we try to come here to visit. It is felt how much effort and time was invested in the improvement of the district center. I am glad that thanks to such traditional holidays as Dazhynki-2026, much attention is paid to the development of infrastructure. For children, this is a place for fun - a lot of entertainment and exhibitions, you can buy a lot of sweets everywhere. For the family, this is a great opportunity to spend a bright and rich weekend, just going out to the center.

- We used to live in Korelichi, and now in Berestovitsky district. When I saw on social networks that the dozhinki will be held in the village where I spent my childhood, I immediately wanted to come. We stayed with our aunt and uncle and went for a walk with our brother. For him, there are so many activities around, a lot of entertainment, game programs. And I am glad that I can meet friends and acquaintances at the holiday, walk along my native streets, and also try different dishes at tastings. The appearance of Korelich has changed a lot, has become more modern and attracts guests from other cities.

In the evening, residents and guests of the district center are waiting for a rich concert program. On the festive stage will perform art groups “Belarus” from Minsk, Russian popular group “Brilliant”. The festival will end with festive fireworks.
