City Day is a time when everyone has the opportunity to confess their love to their native or become native metropolis, and once again look around with surprise and realize that I live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet!

Everyone has their favorite holiday - New Year, Birthday, March 8, February 23 ... But there is a holiday that all residents of Moscow, without exception, are waiting for. We are, of course, talking about City Day! And this is no accident, because the capital is literally blooming before our eyes, becoming even more beautiful and brighter than usual. In the current 2016, the best city on Earth, according to Leonid Petrovich Derbenev, the author of the words to the song of the same name, will celebrate its 869th anniversary. And although the date is not round, the holiday promises to be grandiose.

2016 in our country is the Year of Russian Cinema. It was this theme that formed the basis of the concept of the upcoming Birthday of the capital.

Moscow will appear smart and updated before the citizens: posters, banners and banners with the image of a composition of three numbers - eight, six and nine are gradually appearing everywhere. It is noteworthy that they are presented in the form of five rings, which immediately evokes an association with the main transport arteries of the metropolis. Light walls and installations are installed in parks and squares, which in the evening create a unique atmosphere with their glow. Among the art objects, which are also decorations, five stylized arches stand out. They were created on the basis of sketches “originally” from 1947: then the first post-war fair was held in Moscow, and 69 years later, entrance groups, like greetings from the past, will once again delight Muscovites.

It is worth noting that one of the gifts to the citizens for the birthday of the capital will be free tours. There are more than two hundred such routes. many museums, exhibition centers, art galleries invite guests these days to get acquainted with the expositions also completely free of charge.

The main festive program of the City Day will unfold on Tverskaya: there will be ten thematic sites, each of which presents a certain and, of course, beloved domestic film - "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession", "The meeting place cannot be changed", "I'm walking around Moscow" , "Pokrovsky Gates" and others. In addition, famous chefs here will offer guests to treat themselves to specialties from the same films. Citizens will taste here "overseas eggplant caviar", the legendary salad "Olivier", porridge, and for dessert, of course, "Bird's milk".

The culmination of the City Day will be fireworks, however, this year it will not be the same as usual: in the sky over Moscow, the audience will see not just sheaves of light splashes, but all kinds of shapes - flowers, balloons, hearts. Within the city limits, a dozen sites are being equipped from which launches will be carried out, so that the entire city will literally be shrouded in a bright glow. The organizers promise that the heavenly performance will be visible from afar, so that the guests of the holiday will definitely be able to enjoy this unprecedented show. But we recommend that you take care of choosing a place for viewing it, nevertheless, in advance. This highly artistic fireworks display will take place in the Russian capital for the first time, so you should definitely see it! Surely not all the surprises have been revealed yet, so just plan a long day trip and you will see everything with your own eyes. Every year, City Day is an unforgettable event that is still talked about and admired for a long time.

September 10 - the day of the city of Moscow 2016: the full program of the celebration. Less than a week remains before the grandiose celebration of the City Day of the capital. This year Moscow is celebrating its 869th anniversary, and it was decided to dedicate all the events to a single theme – the Year of Cinema. The cinematic theme will be traced both in the design and in the nature of the events. Every park, every museum and exhibition complex, chain stores and large enterprises will present their celebration programs - you just have to decide in advance where you want to go the most, because it's simply impossible to get around everything in one day.

Study the schedule and "places of deployment" - no one will be disappointed. This year, fireworks are fraught with many surprises: the organizers promise volleys in the most unusual forms - flowers, hearts, emoticons and other oddities.
