The festival included a theatrical performance showing how the harvesting season was once celebrated in the famous composer’s home. Artistes were invited to play the roles of Maria and Kleofas Ogińskis.
Guests were able to tour the mansion and, in the evening, musicians from Belarus, Poland and Lithuania gave a concert.
The best ‘decorated’ farm was chosen and young families took part in a district agricultural contest entitled Village Governor.
