The first summer month pleases us with vacations, the opening of the holiday seasons, school holidays, closing sessions and obtaining diplomas. But even in warm June, surprising with the fragrance of flowers, brightness and real rays of the sun, I want some holidays, which, as a rule, are celebrated and celebrated by the whole country. What significant days should you expect in the summer month, what to prepare for and on what dates to plan a decent vacation?
Weekends and holidays in June
The most significant event in the country is the Day of Russia, which is celebrated on June 12. This holiday first appeared in 1992. And from the very beginning, the government decided that all residents of the country should rest on this day.
Duration
Russia Day is an official holiday that cancels the work of those who serve in government organizations. Private firms also have the right to arrange a full weekend. But they can serve people in the usual way.
Holidays in June fall on the 11th and 12th, while the 9th is a shortened day, since it falls on Saturday. Despite the fact that the country, by law, rests no more than two days at this event, in 2018 the residents of Russia were lucky. After all, there was a transfer of the weekend from June 9 to 11.
Reason to relax
If weekends in June are not uncommon, but there are sorely lacking events, then we bring to your attention a list of unofficial and non-state holidays:
- Start your first summer month with famous and unknown dates such as World Milk Day, Children's Day, Northern Fleet Day, and World Parents Day. Take a walk with your children, eat cotton candy and ride the rides in the park.
- Spend your first weekend in June (2nd and 3rd), celebrating Healthy Eating Day and Land Improvement Day. A good reason to give up junk food and addictions.
- Do not forget that June 6 is celebrated Russian Language Day. This is a great opportunity to tighten up grammar and spelling.
- June 8 treat your beloved pet, even despite the fact that this is the World Day of St. Petersburg cats and cats.
- Play the balalaika on June 23rd. Indeed, on this day they honor the Russian folk instrument.
A little about the Day of Russia
Few people know that some settlements on this day off in June also celebrate City Day. For example, double holidays have been delighting residents of such centers as Kemerovo, Surgut, Kirov, Gagarin, Ufa, Ulyanovsk and Saransk for more than a year.
Russia Day is a very important and main holiday for the whole country. As a rule, this weekend in June is spent without much chic and scope. Residents are greeted by concerts in the squares, local performances and competitions. No parades, no festivals, no huge fairs. The essence of the holiday is to convey to people the greatness of the country, without excesses and motivation. The symbolism of the Day of Russia is the flag and its colors (white, blue, red). To do this, people are armed with flags and show how proud they are of their country. Of course, the larger the city, the greater the scope of the event, since it is necessary to cover the entire population. Therefore, somewhere you can see modest two-hour concerts, and somewhere - incredible fireworks in the main squares.
