Free to participate. Participants under 18 join under parental responsibility.

For those who enjoy creativity, knitting, and collaborative projects — even if they don't plan to go on the water. You can take part in preparation only, and it is just as valuable for the festival. We come up with ideas and concepts, knit elements for costumes, create small accessories and decorations, gather materials, help participants who don't know how to knit, and prepare visual details for the festival.
