The culture of celebrating Maslenitsa (Pancake week) goes back centuries. For our ancestors, it symbolized the long-awaited end of winter. This event is imbued with folk spirit and reckless fun. We invite you to celebrate spring the Russian way! Ancient games and rituals, lightly browned crepes with tea from a Russian ‘samovar’, fun dances when your feet seem to dance by themselves, burning an effigy, and, of course, a friendly circle dance around an outdoor fire: all this awaits you during Maslenitsa in Switzerland!
