Polissya Folk Tradition “Christmas Koza” is back in ancient Chernihiv.
“Koza” – a new winter festival of folk groups, to be held in Chernihiv – North, princely capital of Ukraine. Time selected is just before the “Malanka” and “St. Basil” – one of the three mandatory Christmas feasts that Ukrainians celebrate.
The main goal of celebration is to convey the beauty of folk traditions to the youth, to recreate certain historical justice and return the ancient tradition of “leading the goat” to modern life. For us, it is crucial to make real, unusual folklore festival, but at the same time modern and efficiently organized.
Viewers will see ancient rituals and Nativity plays, performances by folk groups, traditional choral singing and modern variations on New Year and Christmas themes. And more! Hot sweet tea, mulled wine, delicious holiday dishes, souvenirs from Chernihiv artists and many surprises! Along with the main stage, kid’s area welcomes our young guests!
