Recently, a big Cucumber festival was held in Suzdal, in which we took an active part. The center of attraction for visitors was the "Salty Hut", where it was possible to taste our salted and pickled "Skatert-Samobranka" cucumbers from the new harvest, and which had just rolled off the assembly line.
In the pickling hut, it was possible not only to taste canned cucumbers, but also to take a master class and pickle cucumbers in the Suzdal style, take photos in an authentically decorated photo zone with barrels, giant dill, burdocks, ears and other herbs. And also choose any attributes on the theme of cucumbers. We have also collected gift sets from "Skatert-Samobranka" for the participants and winners of the contests.
This year, the event was attended by more than 35 thousand people, the organizers were not ready for such a number and even suspended ticket sales at some point.… But in the end, everything was set up, and everyone could participate in the big celebration.
The Cucumber Festival has been held since 2001 in the middle of summer, when there is an active harvest. Festival guests dress up in green colors or design themed costumes. During the holiday, there is a run in green cucumber bags, various vintage attractions, interactive practical jokes and master classes, performances by folklore groups and the launch of a giant cucumber doll into the sky.
If you missed the cucumber festival this year, then be sure to set a reminder for next year, we guarantee that you will definitely not regret it.
