Due to state restrictions, Belarus has already canceled a second annual festival

The traditional WOSTRAU festival in Nesvizh will not be held in 2026. The organizers explained that after Council of Ministers Resolution No. 454 of August 22, 2025 came into force, they will not be able to hold the festival at the usual level.

This resolution introduces a mandatory state register of organizers of cultural and entertainment events, in which legal entities holding similar events with Belarusian or foreign performers must be registered.

Without inclusion in this register, organizing events with the participation of foreign artists became illegal. The organizers emphasize that under the new conditions, they cannot independently bring such artists, so holding the festival at a high level has become impossible.

A similar situation previously occurred with the "Solstice" festival in Pruzhany, where the event was also canceled in 2026, as the company was not included in the Ministry of Culture's register and lost the right to invite foreign (mainly Russian) artists.
