New Years Eve Russia will be held 31 Dec 2020 in Moscow, Russia. New Years Eve Russia occurs in various cities throughout the country with the traditions varying from late family dinners to fireworks at midnight. This national holiday traditionally fell on September 1, but was moved to January 1 in efforts to westernize the country, becoming a tradition in 1976. Visitors will find that New Year’s Day symbols in Russia include a decorated tree and a figure known as Grandfather Frost, which resembles Santa Claus. Red Square in Moscow, Russia is an attracting venue that offers visitors an enjoyable celebration every year on the eve of December 31. Traditional meals include Russian salad, herring. A pre-recorded address by the country’s president appears on TV, listing the achievements of the past year, at 11.55pm (23:55) local time in each of Russia’s time zones. Many people watch his address and raise a toast to the chiming of the Kremlin clock. The Russian national anthem begins at midnight and people congratulate each other and exchange presents. Some people go out to make a snowman or light fire crackers in their backyards. Celebrations for children include a decorated fir tree and Grandfather Frost, the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus, who gives presents. New Years Eve Russia is an event and I like events...
