The main Sabantuy of the republic has started in Kazan.

      On June 20, large-scale festive celebrations began in the village of Mirny (Birch Grove). The Zainsky district presents its multinational courtyard — a delegation led by the district head Razif Karimov has already welcomed the first guests with chak-chak, karavai, and lively songs! Eleven municipal districts of the republic showcased their courtyards in the forest area of the village of Mirny. At the heart of the celebration is the Zainsky courtyard. It amazes guests with master classes on embroidery and making Tatar headwear, an ancient mill, a functioning bathhouse with herbal tea, treats from Zainsky housewives, as well as a real oven with pancakes and a wood-burning samovar! The celebration will last until 3:00 PM. The program includes a theatrical prologue about the rich heritage of the Tatar people, 11 unique courtyards from the districts of the republic, wrestling competitions, a concert featuring Salavat Fatkhutdinov, Filus Kagirov, Asaf Valeev, and around 2000 artists, as well as a ceremony honoring the best workers.
