Nizhny Novgorod producers are invited to the festival "Flavors of Russia"

      May 25, 2026 11:47 Society In 2026, the "Flavors of Russia" festival in the regions is reaching a new level: the project is expanding its geography and will be held in two regions of the country at once. The first venue will be Smolensk, where the festival will take place on June 12 and 13 in the Lopatinsky Garden. The project, organized by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, invites farmers and producers from all over Russia to participate—small and micro-enterprises operating in rural areas and developing the production of food and agricultural products. Producers who wish to present their products at the gastronomic venue of the festival in Smolensk must submit an application by June 2, 2026, on the official website: flavorsrussiaregions.rf. Last year, the festival brought together farmers from 40 regions and more than 85,000 visitors who were able to get acquainted with 3,000 product names. In the new season, "Flavors of Russia" in the regions is expanding its presence on the country's map and opening new opportunities for enterprises. For participants, this is an opportunity to showcase their goods to a wide audience, find new buyers and partners, promote their regional brand at the federal level, and become part of a large project. The venue will feature farm cheeses, honey, meat delicacies, baked goods, beverages, seasonal products, and regional specialties. Everyone will be able to taste products from different corners of Russia, communicate with representatives of domestic farms, and discover new flavors. The program for guests includes master classes and a show program: costume performances by artists, songs performed by a cover band, dances, and a concert by a star of the Russian pop scene.
