Grodno land has always been known as the land of tolerance. Many centuries ago, during the reign of Vitaut, Grodno has become home for the Tatars, Jews, and Prussians. Today representatives of more than 80 nationalities reside in Grodno. No wonder, Grodno has become the centre of the biennial
Republican Festival of National Cultures , which is held at the beginning of June. During the Festival Grodno turns into an artistic place, with national corners all over the city.
