Kyiv Day
May 26, Sunday
Kyiv City
The Kyiv Day was established similarly to other holidays celebrated in many cities and towns across Ukraine. Celebrations typically last for two days and take place during the last weekend of May; actors and musicians perform out in the streets on this day. City residents and suburban tourists travel to the city to see performances and a firework show that takes place in the evening (around 22:00 Eastern European Time). The first celebration of Kyiv Day took place in May 1982, which marked the celebration of the 1500th anniversary of Kyiv.
