Festival "Vytoki. A Step Towards Olympus" in Gorki

The sports and cultural festival “Vytoki. A Step Towards Olympus” keeps traveling throughout the country. The second season of the festival has already been held in Rechitsa, Stolin and Novogrudok. Gorki, Mogilev Oblast hosted the event on 22-23 July.

Gorki has been the center of agricultural education in Belarus since the 19th century; students of Belarusian State Agricultural Academy have been among the best in international tournaments and university games for many years. 

Most of the activities of the festival took place on the square on Yakubovskogo Street. Visitors were able to participate in the Olympic quest, sports competitions and various challenges and receive valuable prizes. There were sports grounds representing more than 20 sports. There was a food court, a family recreation area and the Belarusian Brands exhibition-fair.

A junior song contest was held on the main stage. The best young singers received diplomas and prizes and were able to take part in master classes of the country's leading mentors in the future. The festival program in Gorki continued with an evening concert and an entertainment program starring popular Belarusian artists. The festival was wrapped up with fireworks.

The Vytoki cultural and sports festival will continue in Polotsk (12-13 August) and Kopyl (26 June - 27 August). The main objective of the project is to unlock the potential of regions through sports, culture, science and education.
