The Spring Fair starts on Kant Island this Friday - the famous Week of Food and Music that will last until May 11. We are about to "run" a whole marathon of events these days, as it is on Friday that the Cultural Place starts working - a new space under the overpass bridge. The center of this space is a large screen (5760x2880), which means... That's right! We'll be watching movies.

MOVIES and MUSIC

Short films from the "Koroche" festival collection, from the Kaliningrad Film Club and the Festival Directorate Film Club, classic silent films from the "Electric Train" festival collection, as well as travel bloggers' films can be watched every day. By the way, silent film screenings will be accompanied by pianists: Evgeny Korobitsyn (piano), guitar trio Mu_tronic.

At the Cultural Place, of course, they also listen to music. During the fair days, Kaliningrad bands will perform here with programs in jazz-hop, neo-folk, manouche, hard-bop, jazz-funk, indie-rock and other genres. DJ sets starting your late breakfast will alternate with retro discos and commentary from a "talking DJ".

Meetings with people changing the city are also on the Cultural Place schedule. They will show it as it really is, non-touristic. This includes getting acquainted with the Keepers of the Ruins (Svetlana Nazarova), the FotON contemporary photography school, as well as the staff of the Pushkin Museum, the curators of the Whaler's House (Yulia Churilova), the creative industries foundation "Crespectiva" (Ekaterina Mironova), the School of Creative Industries, the urbanists community (Svyatoslav Murunov) and other urban initiatives.

Until May 11, the space will be available from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM on weekdays and from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM on weekends. Accessible to everyone - admission to film screenings, concerts, lectures, and workshops remains free.

STREET FOOD

What will this fair prepare? For the first time, the "Lobster_deli" project will participate, presenting a large line of tartares: from baked eggplant with Greek yogurt, from mackerel with onions and fresh herbs, from beef with egg cream, tuna with mango-chili sauce and cucumbers. New items will be added by regular participants: manty in a bowl, African and Portuguese fast food will be prepared by the SunMoon workshop, moredogs with smoked bream, stroganina, herring will be offered by the marine bistro "Port", dessert klops will be served by "Trdelnik".

And this time at the fair we will not only eat but also talk about food. Regional gastronomy historian Svetlana Kolbaneva will talk about the first food court in Königsberg and Immanuel Kant's healthy lifestyle, Yulia Bardun will present the project "Tastes of the Vistytnecka Upland", thanks to which new experiences are obtained in Krasnolesye from the same local products.

CREATIVE WORKSHOP

The creative workshop will also continue working at the fair. Urban artisans will help make anything: trendy bottle bags in macrame technique, herb candles, jewelry or thread toys. The cost of participation in the workshop is 500 rubles, and the schedule of all fair activities is always available on the website sobor39.ru (section "News").

The Week of Food and Music, let us remind you, will end on May 11, but you will always find the Cultural Place in the same place - on Kant Island.

The fair schedule can be found on the Cathedral website.
