Tsimokh Akudovich, an organizer, told Euroradio about the future trips:

"Transport authorities were active to join the festival. They will put up their old fleet for people to look at, and they have given us a tram for the tour. There are now more excursions: a hundred in the capital and 60 in the regions."

Also this year there will be guided tours in French, German, English and Spanish. There will be performances and games.

During this year's festival, organizers have chosen a special monument - one of the oldest monuments in Belarus - Calvinist church of the XVI century in Pershamaisk (historically - Kukhtsichy) Uzda rayon, Minsk oblast.
