On December 19, holiday celebrations will start at Margarita Agashina’s Central City Library. The opening event will be the “Angel Wings” New Year Mosaic planned as a part of the library’s “Spread Kindness” social project. The young readers and their parents will meet Ded Moroz (Father Frost), watch a theatrical performance and, of course, receive gifts.

Apart from that, in December and January, Volgograd residents will be able to enjoy hockey battles at open ice rinks, art workshops, youth festivals, New Year’s installation contests, performances by children art groups and many more things.
