A free music picnic with Belarusian artists will take place in Minsk
On the last Saturday of summer.
On August 29, Minsk will host the Utka Day music picnic — a one-day festival with concerts, lectures, sports, a market of local brands, and food courts. The event will take place simultaneously at three venues near the "Park Čaljuskincaŭ" metro station: in "Skvier," "Echa," and "Echa Dvor" (Niezaliežnasci Ave, 95/5), writes Onliner.by.
The daytime program will run from 12:00 to 22:00. Admission will be free, no ticket purchase or prior registration will be required.
The main part of Utka Day will be music. The program features the young Belarusian scene: from Minsk hip-hop to indie-rock.
Loukii, "minimarket," Postoyanno, Saint Wenz, Alexey Krivdin, and Wasssup will perform on the stage in "Skvier." The organizers also promise a secret guest.
Concurrently, a multi-hour DJ set will take place in "Echa Dvor." During the day, music will accompany various activities, and in the evening, the venue will transform into an open-air dance floor. However, the festival is conceived not only as a musical event. The day will start with a run and yoga classes. A quiz, a dance battle, and an electrodance master class by Valery Chvalov will be held in "Echa Dvor."
Also located on the territory will be the interactive zone "Družba," a market of Belarusian brands and artisans, and food trucks.
After this, Utka Day will continue with a paid night party — from 22:00 to 04:00. PILLIBERG will open it, followed by performances by Zhora Popkin and Trace Visv, RealLowly Pluto, and FRUKT. The program will conclude with a joint set by BRAVO and distortion808.
A separate ticket will be required for the night part, costing 35 rubles.
