Nooruz-2021 (CANCELLED)

UPDATE (March 19th, 2021)!!!
Given the unstable epidemiological situation, in order to prevent the spread of cases of diseases caused by coronavirus infection, the City Emergency Anti-Epidemic and Anti-Epizootic Commission decided to refrain from holding mass events dedicated to Nooruz in the territory of Bishkek.

Nowruz marks the first day of spring and is celebrated on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox, which usually occurs on 21 March. It is celebrated as the beginning of the new year by more than 300 million people all around the world and has been celebrated for over 3,000 years in the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East and other regions.

Inscribed in 2009 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as a cultural tradition observed by numerous peoples, Nowruz is an ancestral festivity marking the first day of spring and the renewal of nature. It promotes values of peace and solidarity between generations and within families as well as reconciliation and neighbourliness, thus contributing to cultural diversity and friendship among peoples and different communities (souce)
