The story behind it
Rooted in Seto agrarian life, this fair revives a traditional market atmosphere. Lüûbnitsa’s fertile onion fields and fishing hamlets needed an outlet for their crops, so this fair became a central meeting for trade and community. It showcases Seto culinary staples like Peipsi onions and sour milk cheese in a festive setting that combines commerce with folk music and craft demonstrations.
