A village-based midsummer celebration in Zhytomyr Polissya, reviving ancient Kupala Day rites. Participants weave wreaths, sing folk songs, leap bonfires and enact rituals by the river. Planners emphasize fire–water purification and the search for the fern-flower, with costumed folklore ensembles and a staged “Magic of Kupala Night” drama each year 1.
Polissya folklore holds Kupala as a time of fertility and magic. Young people gather herbs, weave floral wreaths, dance in circles, and honor pre-Christian beliefs in witches and nature spirits 1 2.
