Blini, crafts, festive folk tunes: we are ready for spring! The
tradition of Maslenitsa dates back to pagan times, when Russian folk
would bid farewell to winter and welcome spring. A true family occasion,
this event will see performances of traditional songs
and dance, games and competitions, an arts and crafts fair, but best of
all, there will be an authentic Russian marketplace where you can gorge
yourselveson beef stroganoff, beetroot soup and of course, plenty of
pancakes. It doesn't matter whether you're Russian or not, everyone is
welcome. So raise your glass of vodka and join in with a toast to warmer
weather.
