It is described as an International Youth Eco-Cultural Festival, with a focus on nature, co-creation with audiences, music performances, film and more. For 2019, the theme is 'The Power of Attraction'.

The festival takes place in the Arkhangelsk area. By tradition, the place will be revealed 1-2 weeks before the festival. The camp will be set up on a sandy spit (coast) within a radius of 150-200 kilometers from Arkhangelsk.

Taibola is the way through the taiga (the shortest way), as well as an abandoned road in the Arkhangelsk province. In a metaphorical sense, this is the path to yourself.
