Massive event set to honor the milestone anniversary of a venerable urban hub in the region
In the heart of the Ural region, the city of Aramil is preparing for a grand celebration. On August 30, 2025, the historical park "Aramil Sloboda" will play host to the "Cossacks of the Ural. Home" festival, a vibrant event that promises to immerse visitors in the rich history and culture of the Cossacks.
Organised by Vasily Starodubtsev, the festival concept revolves around eternal values - family, home, land, and traditions. Over 2,000 Ural residents are expected to attend, making it a significant gathering of people eager to experience the Cossack way of life.
The festival is divided into several "stations," each offering a unique glimpse into the past. The "Family Station" will provide masterclasses, wreath-making, amulet creation, traditional singing, and thematic Cossack photo zones. The "Porogovaya Station" will welcome guests with traditional Cossack hospitality, bread, and salt, while the "Bold-Molodets" station by the river will feature interactive family platforms with traditional Cossack games like saber fencing, whip cracking, and belt wrestling.
The "Staniсa Paths" route will transport visitors back to the daily life of the 17th century, offering a genuine journey into the past. The "Song Station" will host a historical battle reconstruction and an immersive theater, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory.
In addition, a farmers' market with local produce and crafts from across the Ural region is planned, with over 30 artisans and producers already confirmed. This market promises to be a treasure trove of unique handicrafts and regional delicacies.
The festival will not repeat earlier stations, ensuring a fresh and exciting experience for all attendees. To add to the fun, motorcycle rides on powerful CFMOTO bikes will be available at the festival, offering a modern twist on the celebration.
As the "mother of Ural cities," Aramil is celebrating its 350th anniversary in 2025, making this festival a significant milestone in the city's history.
