The first Cherry Festival, which has become a branded event in Belarus in recent years, was held in Glubokoye in the summer of 2013. To mark its holding in April, a huge cherry orchard of 1414 trees was planted, and the city centre was adorned with the sculpture "Glubokoye Cherry". Since then, mass cherry planting events have become annual in the district. Such an event was also held this spring, noted in the Glubokoye District Executive Committee.
