Minsk turns 959: City celebrates with festivals, battles, and fireworks

🥳 Minsk is 959 years old! The capital is speaking the language of celebration today!

❤️ 959 love confessions. Dozens of locations. The city's historic blue color on columns, stages, and posters. Over 20 event sites: from rap battles to knightly reenactments.

🔹 In Victory Park, the strongest firefighter-rescuer is being chosen.

🔹 In Gorky Park — a professions festival: about 90 institutions, 16 thematic zones for schoolchildren and applicants.

🔹 The Year of the Belarusian Woman resonates in songs, dances, and theatrical performances. The chronicle of the capital comes alive with "Minsk-Starozhytny": battles along Prospekt Pobediteley. At the Sports Palace — the program "Minsk. My Soul" and headliner Akmal.

🔹 Youth rhythm in the 50th Anniversary of the Great October Park: workout, streetball, DJ sets under the slogan "Code of Culture. Your Code in the City." The venues were proposed by young people themselves.

🔹 At Freedom Square by the town hall, "Minsk Citizens of the Year" are being honored — doctors, teachers, engineers, builders, athletes.

✨ In the evening, the city will close the celebration with a fireworks display at 23:00 near the Sports Palace and a light-and-music fountain in Starostinskaya Sloboda square.
