A platform on the banks of the Ik River with amphitheaters and a hippodrome

The All-Russian rural Sabantuy is being held for the first time in the republic. The project of the holiday was conceived last year as part of the celebration of the centenary of the TASSR, but due to the pandemic it had to be postponed.

Especially for the holiday, the organizers prepared a new site with a total area of ​​276 hectares on the banks of the Ik River. There is a large amphitheater for 5 thousand seats and a small amphitheater for 2.5 thousand seats, there is also a large hippodrome for 1.1 thousand meters and 1.5 thousand seats, trade and entertainment zones. Plus, about 5 thousand parking spaces have been organized at 12 sites.

 

You can enter the Sabantui site from six different entrances. It is worth noting that the site itself was organized on the site of a former landfill. It took about a year to improve it. Now this territory has acquired a blooming appearance.

 

The district center is home to about 8 thousand people, and in the entire district – about 19 thousand people. The total capacity of the site is up to 100 thousand people. The large area made it possible to evenly distribute people during the holiday without creating a crowd.
