For outdoor enthusiasts, exercise equipment and a workout area were installed near the stadium.

The residents received well-deserved awards.

Each of them is the owner of title "Minsk Resident of the Year".

Traditionally, the site at the Palace of Sports became the center of celebrations. A festival of national cultures was held in the Upper Town. 25 regions demonstrated their flavor: traditions, cuisine and crafts. In just a couple of hours it was possible to travel thousands of kilometers.

In addition to traditional sites, there was also a place for creative experiments. Belarusian State Circus prepared an exciting project. Visitors were shown a two-hour program, but not only at the arena. The foyer housed interactive zones, an exhibition of costumes, and master classes. Children and adults were able to talk to the performers, explore the props and learn the secrets of the magic tricks.
