Why go

The festival draws on the port town's long maritime heritage and folk customs, featuring ritual ceremonies, traditional performances, and community games rooted in local culture. Visitors can observe shamanistic rites, enjoy folk music and dance, and participate in hands-on activities tied to the Dano seasonal traditions.
