BBK Summer Theater: summer stage and recreation area in Burlacha Balka

Greetings, Volodymyr Slipets here — head of Burlachobalka Club, CHODVIZH co-founder, community activist and volunteer. This is my new fundraiser to support Ukrainian culture and local Odesa region festivals!
Previously, in pre-war times, Burlachobalka Club in Burlacha Balka village was a place for festivals, vocal and dance competitions, discos, weddings and other cultural-social events of the village and beyond. However, everything changed since 2022. The war completely froze the club's activities for months, but the institution's administration quickly adapted, established club activities, even opened a volunteer headquarters.
Club life in 2024
Starting from 2024, the club renewed its activities, restoring mass events (patriotic concerts, flash mobs, master classes), adding modern directions (IT courses, console gaming, online events) and mobile events.
And, to great joy for village residents, in summer we celebrated village day, Independence Day, Cossacks Day and Ukraine Flag Day on the outdoor stage.
We also organized POP-UP poster exhibition, water games in mini-pools, Easter egg hunt quest, holi paint flash mob and much more. All this was organized thanks to our partners (CF "Ukraine.South.Freedom", CF "Polish House", CHODVIZH, CHANGE X).
However, in 2025 we want to renovate the summer stage, making it a real summer theater!
What is this fundraiser for and what's the problem?
In current conditions we understand that despite demand for cultural services from residents (elderly, children and their parents), we cannot engage youth and adults in events because they want a new format.
Burlacha Balka village has repeatedly become a target of Russian invaders, many have left... People need celebration. Quality, live. So we want to create a street festival for Burlacha Balka village day!
