In the Dissertation specificity of the dialogue features of a festival as a social and cultural phenomenon is under research on the basis of ethnic festivals of Crimean inhabitants. The specificity of a festival as a cultural phenomenon has been highlighted and the sense of a phenomenon of dialogue culture has been characterized as an element of stability of cultural development. The role of game principle has been defined in forming the concept of a festival in culture; the main points have been argued which characterize festival culture in the national and European Culturology. Basic dominants of festival culture development are myth, ritual, tradition, custom, game and dialogue. The complex structure of a festival has been explained as an entity of three layers: subjective, material bearers of sense and values, sense and values as themselves. It is pointed out that dialogue features themselves are the most important condition of peaceful coexistence of ethnic groups of the Crimea.
