Today, the Kazan City Hall hosted a traditional charity New Year's masquerade ball. At the invitation of the mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin, its participants were 200 children from large and low-income families, as well as prize-winners and laureates of various city competitions and exhibitions. The head of the city congratulated the children on the upcoming New Year. Today, about 900 Kazan children will see the performance “Overslept beauty”. Tomorrow, the young charges of the ANO “Good Kazan” are invited to the New Year tree at the City Hall.

Young spectators watched the fairy tale “Overslept beauty” based on the works of Charles Perrault, Alexander Pushkin, Vasily Zhukovsky and the Brothers Grimm, as well as performances of the best Kazan musical, dance and creative groups. Many children prepared for the presentation in advance and came to the festival in the costumes of their favorite characters. The interactive format of the fairy tale also allowed the children to become a part of the show.

For the first time, the New Year's masquerade was held at the Kazan City Hall in 1856. A pleasant custom was revived 4 years ago.
