Citizens and guests of the Tatarstan capital are celebrating the Tatar national holiday Sabantuy today. This year Sabantuy in Kazan is held in several places at once: in birch groves in Mirny and Derbyshki settlements, the parkland of Swan Lakes. Courtyards of urban organisations and six municipalities - Novosheshminsk, Chistpol, Alki, Apastovo, Kamskoye Ustye and Verkhny Uslon Districts - have been set up in Swan Lakes. The plough feast in this area has opened with a performance based on Gabdulla Tukay's tales.
