The festival “Evening Gatherings”, held by the Department of Culture for the seventh time, is becoming more and more popular every year. This year it was held as part of the Year of Preservation of the Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of Russia.

On the day of the holiday, the people of Kaibi were pleasantly surprised. On the central streets of the regional center, accordion tunes sounded, folklore ensembles in national costumes marched, performing Tatar, Russian, Chuvash, Kryashen songs.

The friendship of peoples manifested itself especially brightly at the Evening Gatherings. As the head of the culture department Ramilya Ablyazova noted, the scenario of the holiday was drawn up with an emphasis on rallying representatives of different nationalities, since tolerance, that is, respect for people of other nationalities, is one of the most important issues of our time.

At the crossroads of the main streets, they were greeted with songs and dances by Russian folklore ensembles, a little later the Chuvashs and Kryashens joined them. Among them was the head of the district, Albert Rakhmatullin. So, with songs and dances, they reached the Dubrava park.

Once again, our folk children’s dance group “Avyl dance”, which is known outside the republic, also presented its skills. All of them were greeted by the head of the district, Albert Rakhmatullin.
