A dynamic one-night urban arts festival celebrating Sumy’s city day. On this creative night, city streets become stages for contemporary arts – concerts, painting exhibitions, street performances and even medieval reenactments 1. Locals and their families wander through installations and performances across the city]. This unique cultural night reveals hometown unity and resilience, especially significant during wartime recovery.
Established to coincide with Sumy’s birthday (traditionally first Saturday of September 1), this event invites community artists and residents to co-create the city’s cultural landscape. Even amid conflict, the festival activates public spaces near bomb shelters for art, linking creative life with civic pride 2.
