On Wednesday, 12 August, the Youth Culture Festival 2026 took place at 8 Prychal* in Mykolaiv. The festival was held to mark Youth Day. It brought together hundreds of people who came to listen to music, dance and enjoy an evening under the open sky.

This was reported by a correspondent for NikVesti.

Sports and creative activities, quests, interactive games and open spaces for socialising were organised for participants. Young people could take part in warm-up exercises and relay races, navigate a rope course, complete creative tasks, and make their own bracelets and badges.
