2009

       
 


 
 

 

 
 

the word "Dazhynki" (dozhynki) means an annual harvest festival in eastern Slavonic languages.

The 13th National Dazhynki of Belarus took place in Kobrin.

It lasted 18 - 19 September 2009. Those were really unforgettable days! Much joy, sunshine, songs, dances and abundance of meals!

a big concert hall in the open air was laid out to host the main concerts of Dazhynki 2009
