We are having a holiday soon!
All the hotels are packed, the preparations for celebration started as early as last year, guests from all over the world are invited. August 30 is a big holiday in Kazan – Day of Republic!
It used to be called the Day of Sovereignty, but lately, due to political propriety, it was renamed, since Tatarstan is not a separate state, but a part of Russia. Besides, it is situated in the very heart of it. :)
Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan. That’s why all the main celebrations will take place in our city. What does it mean the Day of Republic? It is an official day off, overcrowded squares and central streets, trade fairs and concerts! From morning till night everyone makes fun as people in Russia can do it! :))
Families usually gather around the festive table. If you have serious relations with a girl, you can also virtually take part in these family parties. Order a food or a fruit basket to the festive table and your presence won’t pass unnoticed!:)
By the way, this holiday will be a “dress rehearsal” to August 30, 2005, when Kazan will celebrate its 1000th anniversary. Kazan is really a very ancient city! Come here and you will see it with your own eyes! You are welcome!
