"Count of May 2025" – A Festival of Unity, Creativity, and Epic Fantasy! 

"Count of May 2025" is a festival that symbolizes a new beginning, the unity of cultures, and a world built on respect, friendship, and inspiration.

Once, the Great Houses lived apart, each with its own traditions and values. But the time has come to unite, to leave behind past divisions and build a new, vibrant, and flourishing kingdom, where every person, every culture, and every story is valuable and significant.

This carnival is a celebration of friendship, beauty, and creativity! Here, tradition intertwines with fantasy, and legends take on new meaning. Here, there is no place for division – only inspiration, art, music, and light.

🛡 FESTIVAL’S KEY IDEAS

🔹 REBIRTH OF A GREAT KINGDOM – a world where everyone has a place and every voice matters.
🔹 UNITY IN DIVERSITY – each culture, each House brings something unique. Together, we create a new history where traditions unite rather than divide.
🔹 DRAGONS – SYMBOLS OF STRENGTH AND BALANCE – once seen as forces of destruction, they now become guardians of wisdom, creativity, and unity.
🔹 A NEW ERA OF GREAT IDEAS – a time for art, knowledge, and discovery. Instead of conflict, we embrace shared values that build a society where everyone feels important and appreciated.
