The Inter-regional Festival of Tourist Brands "Visit to Berendey"
Pereslavl-Zalessky is the city of fairy tales and legends, ancient stories and myths.
According to the one of the ancient stories, once in Pereslavl area the militant tribes, called “berendey”, were living. They were on the service of Russian princes. Berendey were ruled by fair and kind king Berendey, known to many due to the fairy tale by A.N. Ostrovsky "Snow Maiden". That beautiful legend has got its continuation in the tourism project "The House of Berendey", where in well decorated chambers the legendary king lives.
By the adopted tradition, each year in early June the fairy tale characters from all over Russia come to the king Berendey to meet Russian summer.
The event features dramatized presentations of brands, master classes on artistic painting of toys, blacksmithing, pottery and glass craft as well as exciting contests.
