The Interregional Historical Festival “Sugorie” takes place on the bank of the Sheksna River near the Kuzino passenger pier for four years in a row, starting in 2014, and during that time it took a worthy place in the summer event calendar of Vologda Region.

The festival participants are clubs of historical reconstruction from different cities of Russia, and numerous tourists and sightseers are guests. The audience is attracted by the entertainment of the main activities of the program, and the participants are given the opportunity to demonstrate their fighting skills in a situation as close as possible to the real one, because architectural forms recreating the events of a thousand years ago are recreated in the historical and ethnographic complex.

The main event of “Sugorie” is the re-enactment of the storming of an old Russian fortress by the Vikings arriving here along the river. Every year something new is added to the staging scenario - for example, at the IV festival two rooks were involved in the storming of the fortress at once. Last year, cooperation with the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve began, thanks to which the program was enriched with exhibitions and master classes. The “Sugorie” festival was also recognized at the All-Russian level: in 2017 it became one of the winners of the IV All-Russian festival-competition of tourist video presentations “Divo Rossii”, where he took 2nd place in the category “Event Events”.
