      On July 14, 2026, 09:26 Culture and Recreation The family festival "Daisy Meadow," held in Arzamas on July 11, gathered more than a thousand residents and guests of the region. The festival was organized by the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization "Institute of Demographic Development" with the support of the administration of the city of Arzamas and the Ministry of Social Development and Family Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. The event, timed to coincide with the Day of Family, Love, and Fidelity, aims to promote family values, strengthen traditions, and develop family leisure within the framework of the national project "Family." One of the main events of the holiday was the honoring of married couples who have been examples of love and mutual support for many years. The Minister of Social Development and Family Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Igor Sedykh, awarded the "For Love and Fidelity" medals to eight couples who have been married for over 25 years. Newlyweds who registered their marriage on the day of the festival also received congratulations and memorable gifts. "The festival, as always, turned out to be bright, warm, and family-oriented. Because this is how our traditions are born - from shared memories, sincere joy, and time spent together. For these priceless moments, smiles, and warmth, the 'Daisy Meadow' was once initiated," shared Igor Sedykh, the Minister of Social Development and Family Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. A rich program was prepared for the festival guests: performances by creative groups, family contests and quizzes, a nitrogen show, a children's dance contest, master classes, a giant soap bubble show, face painting, contests "Toddler Race" and "Best Infant Costume," and an exhibition-fair of local artisans' products. The event concluded with a festive concert. "The festival went wonderfully! This is not the first time we have organized such celebrations for families. In the Lukoyanovsky district, we have already gathered thousands of guests. And now in Arzamas, a new venue has united everyone into one warm company. People expressed their gratitude warmly, sharing how great it was to come as a family. And these responses mean more to us than any evaluations," said Maria Dugina, the head of the Autonomous Non-Profit Organization "Institute of Demographic Development." Let us remind you that since 2025, a national project "Family" has been in effect in Russia by the order of President Vladimir Putin, which fulfills the tasks of the previously existing national projects "Demography" and "Culture." It includes activities aimed at the comprehensive development of families: expanding support measures, creating conditions for active longevity of the older generation, and ensuring quality and accessible medical care. The national project includes seven federal projects: "Family Support," "Family Values," "Culture for Families," "Pushkin Card," "Older Generation," "Protection of Motherhood and Childhood," and "Large Families."
