Vologda became New Year’s Capital of Russia
Festive events in Vologda will begin on December 28 and will last till January
8. It is worth reminding that Vologda will become the New Year’s Capital of
Russia. This large project of the RF Ministry of Culture started last year when
Kazan was named the first New Year’s Capital of our country.
To confirm this status, a program of events that will be held in Vologda during
the New Year’s holidays is being made now. All main cultural and sports grounds
of the city will be involved in the celebrations.
Head of the City Yevgeny Shulepov wrote in his blog: “The title of the New
Year’s Capital is not a symbolic status. We must confirm it and create such
festive atmosphere so that it could be interesting, merry and cosy for local
residents and guests of the city there. I can say that every day’s program will
be full of various events and interactive shows. We will use all experience that
we have gained over the last time when decorating the city. We will install our
largest Russian slide beforehand – it is perfectly safe and soon people will be
able to have fun there”.
An unusual fairy performance will be prepared for people in the Kremlin Garden
(the former park of the Vologda Railway Carriage Repair Works) and in the
embankment of the Vologda River. An ice show will take place on the “Locomotive”
stadium.
Interesting programs will be held in the Bryanchaninovs’ country estate, the
Museum of Architecture and Ethnography in the village of Semenkovo, the Einstein
Museum of Interesting Sciences, the Centre of Active Rest and Tourism in
Striznevo, and in the exhibition ground of wooden house-building “Vologda’s
village”.
The celebrations will certainly culminate in the New Year’s Eve. Best groups of
Vologda and invited Russian stars will perform in Kremlin Square.
