Kazakhstanis will observe holidays on May 7 and 9, marking significant events in the nation's history.
Get Ready for a Week of Holidays in Kazakhstan!
Mark your calendars, Kazakhs! We've got a week-long celebration coming up, as reported by our site, citing eGov.kz. Here's a breakdown of what's in store:
Chill out, it's Defender of the Fatherland Day on May 7th. This day is reserved for our brave soldiers and their contributions to the nation. Unfortunately, this holiday means only one day off for us - May 7th. But, no worries, work will resume on May 8th, Thursday.
Power up! May 9th is Victory Day, a public holiday to commemorate and honor all those who fought for our country's freedom. To make the most of it, we'll get a three-day weekend! That's May 9th, 10th, and 11th. But remember, May 12th, Monday, is back to work.
Meanwhile, let's celebrate unity! Kazakhstan's Unity Day of the People takes place on May 1st, which means this Thursday gives us an extra day off.
As for the upcoming parade on May 7th, Defender of the Fatherland Day, the Ministry of Defense is reportedly gearing up for an impressive display of military training in Nur-Sultan[1].
Now, we know you're wondering about other holidays in Kazakhstan. According to the law "On Holidays in the RK", holidays are only significant socio-political events or those traditionally celebrated by citizens. Some of these include:
- New Year - January 1-2;
- International Women's Day - March 8;
- Unity Day of the People of Kazakhstan - May 1;
- Defender of the Fatherland Day - May 7;
- Victory Day - May 9;
- Capital Day - July 6;
- Constitution Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan - August 30;
- Independence Day - December 16.
Stay tuned for more holidays and cultural events, and remember, Kazakhstan only recognizes one national holiday - Republic Day, on October 25th. Happy Holidays, Kazakhs!
