Since that time, he has been named after Valery Grushin, who was a student at the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute and one of the active promoters of the tourist song.

The holding of FIFA World Cup matches in Samara in 2018 will affect cultural life areas. The Grushinsky Festival will have to be postponed. This was announced by the Minister of Culture of the Samara Region Sergei Filippov.

According to him, in 2018 the festival will be held from August 9 to 13. At the same time, the organizers will prepare a grandiose performance. After all, in 2018 “Pear” will turn 45 years old.

This year the festival will take place from June 29 to July 2 at the Mastryukov Lakes. It will be attended by Oleg Mityaev, Veniamin Smekhov, artists of the Taganka Theater, Alexander Gorodnitsky. An important event There will be a concert dedicated to the late poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko.

To get to the festival site, Samara residents will need to drive through the village of Pribrezhny, turn at the thousandth kilometer of the M-5 highway and cross the railway crossing. After this, you need to turn left at the city cemetery. The cost of parking a car near the clearing will be one thousand rubles.

“We will be able to park about three thousand cars without any problems.” Anything over that will cause problems. However, we ask you not to park cars along the road in the driveway near the clearing. To ensure safety, tow trucks will operate,” said festival director Irina Zvereva.

It should be noted that there will be three main stages, a football field, a forest area, a sports center, and a children's playground on Grushinskaya Polyana.

According to the organizers, it will be possible to get to the festival by train. The train schedule will be published soon on the festival website.

The Grushinsky Festival is wonderful because it takes place every year. And every year we spend the first month of summer where smoke from fires spreads across the water, and music, like gas, fills the provided volume.

The music begins at the distant approaches to the festival clearing. Played by misanthropes who do not accept the obligatory festival crowds in their immediate vicinity and set up camp further away. The farthest stage of the festival is playing - the Kola Hillock. People with jew's harps and pipes of unprecedented shapes are playing as they pass through the festival.

In general, as Galina aptly noted, Pear is a large music box. You fall into it and even seem to fall, like into a rabbit hole, and you never know what “dreams and songs” (c) the air will be filled with in ten steps. Here the Beatles are singing, there is CHIZHA, and now “Atlantes hold the sky on stone hands” (c), Leps is heard from around the corner, but thank you, it’s not Tanya Bulanova, although maybe they sing her somewhere too. It's great that we are with Galina Garshenina devirtualized!

Groups of people gather randomly on musical grounds, and strangers sing with each other, sorting songs by voice.

And all this musical diversity happens every year, continuing as if in the same place where we left off last time. Sometimes I get the feeling that Pear never really ends. This is such a Grushin space-time continuum, arising from parallel universe on the first weekend of July in the same place and bringing with them the same time due to some physical incident.

And the Pear certainly appears with the rain, which only confirms the theory. But if we hardly noticed any rain, this festival is one of the most “precipitated” in my memory. And the rain became the musical accompaniment, incessant percussion punctuated by tinkling strings, harmonica and a long, gentle trumpet roulade in the style of Chat Baker. This trumpeter made my Saturday morning, the rain beats rhythmically on the tightly stretched awning of the tent, without losing its rhythm. And then the pipe comes in...

Traditional night concert just like 5 and 10 years ago, it imperceptibly materializes on the lake. This time, even he could not do without rain, and the night tree-mountain attracts photographers and listeners, like a lamp attracts moths.

And when the rain finally stops, at dawn on Sunday, the rising sun and rising fog are ready to lift the spell of witchcraft from the clearing, when time is ready to make its usual loop and turn the festival back into a simple forest clearing. The pear is the most beautiful. And you can watch her from the stairs for a long time, trying to catch the moment when everything disappears. But you won't catch it.

Everything disappears without you. The pear turns into a memory, like Santa Claus into gifts under the tree and a slightly open window. "Personal New Year"(c) met. Looking forward to the next one.
