The 20th International Festival of Ethnic Music and Crafts "WORLD of Siberia" was held on a grand scale in the village of Shushenskoye in the Krasnoyarsk Region and gathered 90 thousand guests on its sites in 4 days. Guests from Moscow, Belgorod, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Irkutsk regions, Altai and Krasnodar territories, the republics of Sakha, Tyva, Khakassia, Buryatia and other regions of Russia came to celebrate the anniversary of one of the largest folklore festivals in Russia.

The Opening ceremony of the Festival took place on July, 12th and during the following 4 days lovers of music and crafts could enjoy numerous master classes, lectures, author readings, film screenings and, of course, concerts at various venues of the summer festival in Shushenskoye.

Over 500 artists performed on three stages over 4 days. Musicians from Russia, Great Britain, Israel, Iran, Yemen, China, Cuba, Moldova, Russia, Turkey, and France became guests of honor at the festival. Two premieres took place on the main stage: a joint concert program of the members of the ethnomusic competition jury​ and an international experimental alliance of the Israeli singer Shiran with the Krasnoyarsk Philharmonic Russian Orchestra. Also, for the first time, a group from China performed at the festival in Shushenskoye, pumping up the festival field with the powerful sound of folk metal.

Based on the results of the festival's competition program, the strongest groups and soloists received well-deserved awards.

The Nerekhta Horn Choir became the best in the “MIRA” ethnomusic competition. The group performs Russian folk songs and shepherd's songs playing Russian song horns in the tradition of the shepherd horn players of the Kostroma Region. The musicians adopted the tradition of the joint horn playing from the shepherds themselves and have been preserving this piece of Russian musical culture for 40 years.

The small bowl of the “MIRA” competition remained in the Krasnoyarsk Region. The Budilin family ensemble became its owner. The older generation of artists - Vladimir and Yulia - have been performing and receiving awards at the festival for several years. In 2024, the official Year of the Family in Russia, the couple took to the stage with their five-year-old daughter Anya, won the hearts of the audience and experts with their joint performance and won a special jury prize.

The winner of the 2024 "MIRA" craftsmanship competition​ was Natalya Svatkova, a representative of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area - a person of a rare profession - a blacksmith-reconstructor. The craftswoman recreates medieval jewelry of Finno-Ugric women, which were discovered during excavations by archaeologists of Yugra, and other antiquities.
