The Mayor of Kazan together with his family took part in celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Nizhnekamsk, his native city.
The City Park pleased him the most out of all open objects. A fountain, a cafe, sports grounds, a sports equipment rental building and children's playgrounds appeared in it, and the famous 196-meter-high TV tower began to shine with 16 thousand shades of illumination, which will vary according to the seasons and days of the week.
Ilsur Metshin remembered how, as high school students, they planted trees there and even took care of them for a time, everyone knew their tree. “The TV tower, which has always been our Eiffel Tower, and the illuminations on it are amazing. This is something incredible! Even I, the person who travels a lot and tries to see all the best and bring to Kazan, was pleasantly amazed at the scale and level of park’s improvement”, said the Mayor of Kazan.
The platform “From Kazan with Love” became one of the most popular areas of the holiday on August 20, which pleased the citizens and guests with a gastronomic festival, street performances, a large children's area with modern developing entertainment, a concert of the State Symphony Orchestra of the RT and soloists of the Mariinsky Theater.
According to him, Nizhnekamsk before the 50th anniversary and Nizhnekamsk after the 50th anniversary are two different cities. It's like Kazan before the Universiade and after it, compared I. Metshin. “I believe that the 50th anniversary in Nizhnekamsk was its Universiade. People thanked for the holiday. So much joy and pride for the native city is worth a lot!”
