Today, December 13, 2025, in the heart of winter Karakol, the tourist season officially began. The bright colors of the international fair KARAKOL FAIR 2024-2025 illuminated the city, turning Karakol into a center of attraction for connoisseurs of Kyrgyz culture, traditions, and winter recreation.
The fair features the most exquisite works of Kyrgyz craftsmen: felt souvenirs, refined ceramics, handmade textiles, jewelry, and art objects. Each item carries the warmth of the masters’ souls and invites guests to touch the unique heritage of our country.
The fair’s food court has become a gastronomic discovery for visitors. Here, you can try Kyrgyz dishes – juicy samsa from the tandoor, hot lagman, aromatic ashlyamfu, and warming drinks that perfectly complement the atmosphere of the winter holiday.
Folk ensembles filled the fair’s atmosphere with melodies that immerse guests in the rich world of Kyrgyz traditions.
The fair is held with the support of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Department of Tourism, the Swiss project Helvetas Kyrgyzstan, the Karakol City Hall, and the Karakol Destination. Until December 15, everyone has the opportunity to become part of this fairy-tale atmosphere.
KARAKOL FAIR is a showcase of Kyrgyz culture, craftsmanship, and hospitality. We joyfully welcome guests from all over the world to give them an unforgettable journey into the winter fairy tale of Kyrgyzstan.
