The Day of the Volcano gathered several thousand inhabitants and guests of Kamchatka

A few thousand inhabitants and guests of the Kamchatka Territory visited the foot of the Kozel volcano last Saturday.

“The event was postponed from the previous weekend due to unfavorable weather conditions, but, as we saw on the site, the Kamchatka people reacted with understanding. The day of the volcano is a traditional regional holiday organized by the Krai Government on behalf of the Governor Vladimir Ilyukhin. This holiday has already become a visiting card of Kamchatka. Every year we try to please the guests with something new, so this year at the foot of Kozelsky the “ethno village” was first organized. Its visitors are offered to settle in yarangas with reindeer skins, to drink aromatic hot tea from Kamchatka’s wild plants, to see the performance of the national ensemble, to participate in a conversation about the culture, way of life, traditions and customs of the peoples of Kamchatka. Those who wish can try on national costumes, take part in a photo session, learn how to cook Itelmen and Koryak dishes from berries and mushrooms. I am sure that the Day of Volcano-2018 will be remembered for the residents of the region and its guests for a long time, “said the Vice-Governor of the subject Alexei Voitov.

“The atmosphere at the holiday is very warm, everything is organized very well here, people really came to the party. This place attracts people, there are always a lot of them – here is a special atmosphere. And I want this holiday to be always on Kamchatka, “said Governor of the Kamchatka Territory Vladimir Ilyukhin, who also visited Volcano Day.
