Will there be fireworks in Nizhny Novgorod on May 9th?

      About the City

      Nizhny Novgorod residents will once again be without fireworks for Victory Day this year. The celebration program for May 9, 2026, in Nizhny Novgorod will not include a salute. This became known after the city administration published the full program of festive events in honor of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

      The document did not include not only the salute — other traditional elements of the celebration have also disappeared. This year's Victory Day in Nizhny Novgorod is noticeably different from previous years. The military parade on Minin and Pozharsky Square will also not take place — for safety reasons. Residents will not participate in the traditional "Immortal Regiment" march: the procession has been moved online, with its digital start scheduled for 12:00. The absence of these elements is part of a general trend observed in Russian cities in recent years. Authorities explain the changes by the need for safety under current conditions. Instead of mass street events, residents are offered an extensive cultural program in parks.

      Earlier, "About the City" published a detailed program of the celebrations. The metro will also extend its hours on this day.

      

       Residents planning to celebrate the holiday outdoors should consider a few important details. Firstly, forecasters promise around +15°C and possible rain — an umbrella and warm clothing will not be superfluous. Secondly, during the May holidays, a restriction on the sale of alcohol will be introduced in Nizhny Novgorod.
