Society Gorodets celebrated its 873rd anniversary. The Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Evgeny Lyulin, visited to congratulate the residents on this significant date. He participated in festivities and interacted with the townspeople.
On the city’s main stage, the speaker of the regional parliament awarded honors to residents whose hard work and talent help develop Gorodets and preserve its unique atmosphere. Thank-you letters and certificates were presented to individuals from various professions.
"Gorodets is an amazing blend of ancient wisdom and youthful energy. Here, the soul of Russia is carefully preserved — its folk crafts that bring fame to our region across the country. Famous painting style, gold embroidery, gingerbread — this is living history created by the skilled hands of Gorodets artisans. And I see how sincerely Gorodets masters love their craft and their city, how hospitably they welcome guests. Thanks to these people, Gorodets has retained the unique spirit of an old Russian city and has become a magnet for hundreds of thousands of tourists," Lyulin said.
Over the past ten years, the number of visitors has more than doubled. Last year, Gorodets hosted nearly a million tourists. The All-Russian Festival "Masters of the Folk Brotherhood" (16+) has been held here for more than twenty years, bringing craftsmen from across the country. This year also marked the 20th anniversary of the Museum Quarter. Recently, a new museum dedicated to Gorodets painting opened in the city.
At the Volga Riverbank, festival participants watched a theatrical performance featuring the arrival of Prince Yuri Dolgoruky’s boat, the city’s founder. Guests strolled through the fair, tasted local products, explored folk crafts, and participated in creative master classes. There was also a concert program and a variety of engaging activities.
It was previously reported that over 7 million rubles would be allocated for the festive decoration of Nizhny Novgorod for City Day and National Unity Day.
