Декабрьские мероприятия

Декабрь не богат на необычные ивенты, фестивали и концерты, зато такого количества сказочных представлений вы не встретите ни в один другой сезон. Новогодние мероприятия в Беларуси обещают быть поистине грандиозными!

December events

December is in lack of unusual events, festivals, and concerts, but you will not find so many fabulous performances in any other season. New Year's events in Belarus promise to be truly grandiose!

Main Christmas tree of the country

Where: Minsk, Octyabrskaya Sq, 1, Palace of the Republic

When: from December 25 to January 4

Cost: from 15 BYN per person

The New Year's events list is always full of activities not only for children but also for their parents. The Palace of the Republic prepared for each family a show based on the play by Anna Bogacheva "Magic Power". The symphony orchestra will create the atmosphere of a musical evening, and the impressive scenery and costumes will immerse the audience in the world of a fairy tale and lead them through the plot of the play. Such large-scale New Year's events always deserve attention, because a fairy tale is what we all especially lack now. And you can find out all the details of the event and book the best tickets by calling +375 (17) 215-48-47 and +375 (29) 168-89-27.

VETLIVA proposes: if you prefer natural scenery and fresh air to concert halls, how about celebrating the New Year in national parks and booking a tour by the short number 7172? The best choice for those who have long dreamed of celebrating the holidays surrounded by winter forests and white snowdrifts!

Three elements

Where: Minsk, Tashkentskaya St. 19, Chizhovka Arena

What New Year's activities for children will be the most interesting? We think that your child will definitely like the circus show. And if you choose the "Three Elements" show, then incredible emotions are definitely guaranteed. Artists from several countries of the world will present an extravaganza of fire, air, and water right in the heart of the Chizhovka Arena. The spectators are waiting for acrobats, illusionists, jugglers, musical fountains, bikers in steel balls, and many other masters of circus art. And, of course, what New Year's event would be complete without meeting Grandfather Frost and Snegurochka?

VETLIVA notes: despite the fact that during all winter events 2021-2022 precautions are provided, the epidemic, alas, does not sleep. We hope that you did not have to deal with COVID-19, but if the disease has not spared you and your family, be sure to check out our material on the topic. Remember that rehabilitation after serious illnesses is no less important than their prevention and treatment!
