EneidaFest

"Eneida" goes beyond the book! It comes to life in sounds, images, and tastes!

On September 5–6, 2026, the National Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine invites you to the first polyphonic festival — "EneidaFest"!

Imagine: the open-air Museum grounds will transform into the living universe of Kotlyarevsky — an era of Cossack prowess and baroque chic!

"EneidaFest" is not just a holiday, it is a living cultural code where the past meets the present. It is a cultural bridge between the glorious Cossack past and modern Ukraine. Here, the burlesque humor of "Eneida" intertwines with the aristocracy of the Hetmanate, and folk traditions blend with high culture.

What awaits you:

• Theatrical performances and meetings with the poem's characters.

• Drivy musical performances and folk dances.

• Cossack sports and traditional games.

• Masterclasses from top folk artisans.

• Authentic Ukrainian gastronomy (Aeneas would definitely approve!).

Discover for yourself that Ukrainian classics are modern, energetic, and exciting!
