A project called New Year Capital was launched in Russia last year. It was initiated by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation in 2013. Kazan was chosen as the first such capital. Every year a board of experts will select such capital, where the New Year will be celebrated in a special way, because every Russian city has its own traditions of celebrating.
Vologda’s authorities have planned a number of major festive actions and events not only in Vologda, but also in Veliky Ustyug, the hometown of Ded Moroz, Russia’s equivalent of Santa Claus. The celebrations will take place from December 27 through January 8, 2014.
