The Khersonsky Puzanok is a charitable food festival held in Odesa on June 7, 2025, celebrating the local Kherson delicacy 'puzanok' (a traditional fish soup) 1. Organized by Kherson community groups, the event featured cooking demonstrations and tastings of puzanok, music and performances by Kherson residents, and fundraising for military units defending Kherson.
Puzanok is a symbol of Kherson regional cuisine. This festival, though held in Odesa due to the conflict, continues a Kherson tradition by bringing together displaced Kherson residents. It reconnects participants with their homeland culture and heritage during the war 1.
