Sabantuy — The Joyful Summer Festival!
Sabantuy is a happy summer festival celebrated in Tatarstan, Russia. When summer comes, people sing, dance, and play exciting games together to welcome the new farming season.
At Sabantuy, you can see fast horse races with brave riders and strong people competing in traditional Koresh wrestling. The air smells delicious because people cook special triangle pies called echpochmak with meat and potatoes. Everyone enjoys lively folk music played on accordions and drums while wearing colorful traditional costumes.
The festival is full of laughter and cheers! Winners have fun prizes like special towels or even a live sheep. Children love playing "Kyz kuu," a funny game where riders try to catch each other on horses.
Sabantuy shows the best parts of Tatar culture — friendship, strength, tasty food, and joyful music. It’s a time when everyone feels happy together.
