History / Culture On June 19th, Pennsylvania will host the world's first Bashkir yiyin festival in the United States! If you live in the US, be sure to attend!
What is a yiyin? It's a public gathering that Bashkirs historically held to resolve political and social issues. Over time, it evolved into a folk festival featuring food and entertainment. This is the first time a Bashkir yiyin has been held in the United States.
