The regional round of the 15th Republican Festival of National Cultures took place in Lida

In its homeland, the multinational forum enjoyed its largest-scale participation ever. Fifteen public associations, diasporas, and communities presented national cuisine and costumes, arts and crafts, vocal and choreographic performances. Traditionally, these included Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Kazakhs, Jews, Lithuanians, and Roma. Representatives from Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, Africa, Greece, Turkmenistan, Georgia, and Russia's Tatarstan participated for the first time. Based on the results of qualifying rounds in all regions of the country, a committee will select the best performers to form the national delegations participating in the national festival. The 15th anniversary forum of national cultures will gather participants and guests in Grodno in June 2026.
