There will be a variety of activities, informational displays, and entertainment. The Festival will feature the Tula Samovar Exhibition, Russian National Dance Ensemble from Tula, Russia, Russian Movies, Russian traditional food, Russian crafts, craft making demonstrations, and children activities.
The Masquerade Ball on the 26th of May 2007 was a success. Everyone was dress up, enjoyed homemade food and danced to romantic and traditional music.
Of course, the main point of a Masquerade Ball was to be in costume and astonish friends and strangers alike. Mask was a must.
At 6pm was the Costume/Mask contest, where everyone is asked to vote on a King and Queen of The Ball (best couple costume), a Prince (best male costume), and a Princess (best female costume).
To the end of the Ball everyone enjoyed the photo slide show featuring the photos of the guests.
