"Iseti's "Atmofest" back for another round: organizers announce dates and festival theme for this year"
Get ready for an immersive cultural experience as the AtmoFest Eurasian Landscape Art Festival returns to Yekaterinburg from August 15 to 24. This year's festival, themed "Vacation in One Step," promises a unique blend of art, education, and community engagement, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the city's embankment on the Iset River.
The festival's main hub will be the newly opened pier near the Makarov Bridge, which was inaugurated in June. Shaped like a truncated pyramid, the pier features a floating stage, sun deck, and an amphitheater by the water, making it a perfect venue for performances and events.
One of the most anticipated attractions is the "Locomotive" boat station, located at 21 Гражданская Street. This historic site, known for its architectural and cultural significance, is undergoing restoration as part of the AtmoFest preparations. The restoration efforts aim to preserve the boat station's unique design, adapt the space for public use, and integrate it into the festival's activities and broader cultural programs.
The AtmoFest festival is more than just a visual art event. It offers workshops, masterclasses, and lectures focused on landscape design, environmental art, and sustainable urban planning. Participants can engage in collaborative projects with local artists and international guests, creating site-specific works that interact with Yekaterinburg’s environment.
The festival also features music and performance events that complement the theme of nature and urban coexistence. Daily activities include dancing, water competitions, and children's entertainment programs, ensuring there's something for everyone.
This year, the festival will explore the cultural and natural heritage of the Eurasian region, emphasizing the connection between people and their landscapes. It will focus on how urban development can coexist and harmonize with natural landscapes, promoting sustainable living environments. Themes often include restoration of historic sites and landscape preservation in rapidly urbanizing contexts.
For those planning a staycation, organizers are offering a 10-day staycation with an "all-inclusive" concept. The festival area will also feature illuminated paths, bike lanes, and guarded sidewalks, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for all visitors.
To stay updated on the latest schedule, descriptions, and updates, be sure to check the official AtmoFest website or Yekaterinburg cultural event listings. The pier, with its food tasting gastronomic zone, is expected to attract athletes, water sports enthusiasts, locals, and tourists alike, making the AtmoFest Eurasian Landscape Art Festival a must-visit event this summer.
Take advantage of the opportunity to experience outdoor-living and home-and-garden concepts at the AtmoFest Eurasian Landscape Art Festival. The festival's efforts to restore the historic "Locomotive" boat station aim to create a unique and engaging outdoor lifestyle space during the event.
