Participants for the parade in Astana and their prospective attendance.
Here's the Rewritten Article:
Get ready, Astana residents! Details about the military parade scheduled for May 7 have been unveiled, and it's gonna be a showstopper. Mark your calendars, 'cause the event will honor both the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland and the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
First things first – the parade kicks off at 11:00 AM sharp on May 7. The Akimat made it clear that enhanced security and control measures will be in place at the parade location, and everyone who's anyone has been invited to attend. This includes veterans of the Great Patriotic War, home front workers, combat veterans, top units of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan, and more.
You don't have to miss out if you can't snag an invitation, though. A live broadcast of the military parade will be available at several locations:
- City square in front of the capital's Akimat building (complete with a live concert).
- Astana Arena stadium (you guessed it, live concert too).
- Parking lot of "Astana Music Hall" on B. Momyshuly Avenue, 1 (just the live broadcast, but who's complaining?).
And don't worry if you can't make it in person – the event will also be broadcast live on republican TV channels.
Maybe you're already excited, but hold on, there's more! Last week, it was announced that the military parade will be broadcast live for all to see. And get this – the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, To Lam, will be attending the event. He's already touch-down in the capital of Kazakhstan and was personally welcomed by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
Now, I've heard a rumor flying around that the parade has been moved from May 7 to May 9. But let me break it to you: that's total baloney. The Ministry of Defense has confirmed the parade will take place on May 7 at the "Qazaq Eli" monument, so put those conspiracy theories to rest.
Lastly, just a friendly reminder about traffic restrictions, safety rules, and law enforcement instructions. Traffic will be tentatively restricted in the parade area, so plan your routes in advance and stay safe. Keep an eye on local news sources or official announcements for precise details on traffic restrictions and alternative routes, and remember to follow safety rules and instructions from law enforcement officers.
