Children’s laughter, twinkling lights on the Christmas tree, Tatar songs and dances—all of this came together in the bright and heartwarming celebration “How the Little Horse Rushed to the New Year.”

The event began with warm words from the hosts and a magical atmosphere filled with anticipation of the New Year. Guests enjoyed beautiful musical performances, energetic Tatar dances, and shows by talented artists.

A special highlight of the celebration was the performance by Elena Bykova, Honored Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan and Krasnodar Krai. Her songs touched the hearts of the audience and created a truly festive New Year’s mood.

The main heroine of the celebration was the cheerful and swift Little Horse, the symbol of the coming year. She galloped to the Christmas tree to the sound of hoofbeats, drew everyone into fun games, and even led a real “horse workout.” The children happily repeated the movements, laughed, and helped the Little Horse call for Ded Moroz.

And of course, the long-awaited Kysh Babai did not keep anyone waiting! Together with Snegurochka, he played with the children, led round dances, listened to poems and songs, and then presented the kids with sweet New Year gifts.

May the Year of the Horse bring all children joy, health, friendship, and good luck, and may every home be filled with light, warmth, and happiness!
