City Day is celebrated not only in megacities, but also in small towns. In the history of each settlement there is a memorable date, to which the celebration is usually timed. This can be, for example, the anniversary of the first mention in government documents or the laying of the first stone. Residents of cities and towns decide where to go on this day in different ways.
If you live in a small town, find out the date of the celebrations and the program. In this case, the choice is not that great, since all public events usually take place in the same place. They are organized by the department of culture, so that information is best found there. Call your local administration and find out what time the party will start and what will be on the program.
Even small settlements already have their own official websites. Information about cultural events is also published there. Train yourself to check this section regularly. There you can learn not only about the upcoming City Day, but also about other events of cultural life.
There are a lot of events in large cities on this day; they take place in different districts, sometimes quite far from each other. Residents have to choose what they would like to see. You can find information about the most important events on the official city website. The program of the City Day is very often published not only in the "Culture" section, but also on the main page.
Regional departments of culture can organize their events dedicated to the City Day. They may not be in the citywide program. Find out about this at the district department of culture. As a rule, concerts, processions, game programs and sports competitions are held outdoors, but it is possible that the Palace of Culture nearest to your home will prepare its program. You can find out about the time at the cultural institution itself.
The more adventurous cafe and restaurant owners also don't want to stay away from the events. For example, in St. Petersburg and the suburbs on the City Day, they organize days of Peter the Great or traditional Russian cuisine with themed concert programs. Browse advertising publications. Potential visitors are usually notified of such events in advance, and not only through the media. You can also see the ad on the cafe itself.
