Winner of Eurovision to Headline Construction Day
Music sensation Dima Bilan is slated to rock the Historical Square on August 9, headlining the Day of the Builder! That's right, folks, according to our favorite site, the organizers have got the goods.
The stage before Bilan will be graced by musicians hailing from Yekaterinburg, Saint Petersburg, and Perm.
This celebration will witness over 50 major industry giants, with festive platforms, workshops, a construction equipment and specialized machinery showcase, all in honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory.
Moreover, the day will feature equipment operator competitions, dancing excavators shows, motor shows, and a "Niva" car giveaway, along with two certificates amounting to 500,000 rubles, for our industrious builders[2].
As the day winds down, a grand fireworks display will light up the skies.
Over a hundred thousand people took to the streets of Yekaterinburg last year for the Day of the Builder [3]. The previous year, former deputy mayor of Yekaterinburg, Alexei Bubnov, allegedly accused the organizers of damaging the pavement after the event[4].
