The outdoor event shows old customs and work related to the harvest season. During the event, old methods of grain processing will also be presented. In the fields, you will be able to admire reapers working with a scythe and sickle, as well as a horse-drawn reaper. Harvest in the open-air museum is a unique event because it takes place with the participation of tourists. Everyone has the opportunity to try their hand at mowing with a scythe, tying and setting stygas, or harvesting with a sickle. On the peasant farmsteads, there will be no shortage of shows, including the "quail tuning" ritual, or interesting workshops for the youngest entitled "How was it with grain?". Folk bands perform on the amphitheater stage, and the fair of regional products will undoubtedly ensure that everyone will stock up on unique products.
