Hippie Festival 2012

• Hippie Festival 2012

To buy peace of mind, feel the freedom and tranquility does not have to be a yogi and eighty level and live in the Tibetan mountains. It's enough to from time to time to take a tent and a pot, and go away from civilization, even for short periods of time. And then your day will start without stress and anxiety.

That is what the hippies who gather each year in the Carpathian Mountains, near the waterfall spikes to fully connect with nature and away from the usual bustle of the city.

Over time, the meeting near the waterfall spikes gradually moved into an organized event, which was to become a hippy festival. Every year, from 1 to 10 July, the festival gathers a huge amount of positive and cheerful people, you can meet the punks, Goths, rastamanov, nudists, various informal groups and tourists.

Many people come to the festival with their children. The children in such close communion with nature, feel great.

The first festival was held back in 1993. It gathered hippies from all over the former Soviet Union.

This festival is held on the theme: "love, peace & wine".

According to tradition, the culmination of the festival takes place from 6 to 7 July and coincides with the holiday of Ivan Kupala.

In such festivals welcome any creative endeavor.

The main feature of these festivals - it is the friendliness and happiness at the sight of you.
