Sabantuy is the main national holiday of the Tatar people, which combines beautiful customs, songs, dances, games and sports. Its name comes from the Turkic words: saban – a plow and tui – a holiday. Previously, Sabantuy was celebrated in honor of the beginning of spring field work (at the end of April), but now – in honor of their end (in June).
