The current May celebrations in the city will take place in a slightly modified format. Taking into account the difficult flood situation in a number of regions of the country, in order to save budget funds, the head of state instructed the government, central state and local executive bodies to abandon major events, reports Noks.kz .

And yet, celebrations dedicated to the holidays will be held in the city. Events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the country's first Minister of Defense Sagadat Nurmagambetov and Halyk Kharmana Rakhymzhan Koshkarbayev will be held in schools, kindergartens, libraries, a museum, and a sports and recreation complex.

Courage lessons will be held in schools and kindergartens, a "Historical Hour" in libraries, a "Life Story" campaign in the museum, and a patriotic campaign "Victory Flag" in sports institutions of the city.

On May 1, the city will organize the challenges "Strength in Unity" and "Taza Kazakhstan", on May 3 — an action to help the older generation "Onegeli urpak".

On May 4, college students will take part in the soldier's song festival, and on May 6, a drill review of high school students will be held in school gyms. The events will be timed to coincide with Defender of the Fatherland Day. Girls and boys will also compete for leadership in the Zhas Sarbaz tournament, which will be held in the RATK gym.

On May 7, fans of marksmanship and accuracy will show their athletic skills in archery. An environmental challenge "Taza Kazakhstan" is scheduled on the same day.

But the main May celebrations will take place on May 9th. They will be dedicated to the 79th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

At 10.00 — laying flowers at the obelisk of Hero of the Soviet Union Tolegen Tokhtarov. At 11.00 — a similar event at the obelisk of Glory, where young residents of the city will distribute patriotic ribbons to everyone.
