Interregional Udmurt National holiday «Gerber»
12 May 2026
Interregional Udmurt national holiday «Gerber», village of Kochishevo, Glazovsky district.
In 2026, this large-scale event will take place on June 20.
National culture in all its diversity: the ancient festival of the end of the sowing season attracts representatives of all the Udmurt clans, at least 15 thousand people. A special moment is the consecration of the ceremonial porridge with meat, which is conducted by the Udmurt priests. And then everyone can enjoy porridge from large cauldrons. At the fair of craftsmen, it is impossible to resist buying an original product - ceramics, a woven patterned belt, a folk textile doll. Udmurt songs and pranks still resound in my memory for a long time.
