Reasons for postponing City Day

Traditionally, the capital celebrates its birthday on the first weekend of September, but several times the holiday coincides with the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism (September 3). In this regard, it was decided to conduct a survey on the postponement of public festivities on the website and mobile application “Active Citizen”. As a result of the vote, it was decided to move the holiday to September 10 and 11.

To this end, the Moscow City Duma approved the expansion of the dates for celebrating Moscow City Day: now, in addition to the first Saturday in September, the holiday can be held on the second Saturday in September if it coincides with the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism. This date is associated with the tragic events of the hostage taking on September 1-3 at a Beslan school in 2004. City Day coincides with a mourning date every few years.
