This year, the number of festive trees installed on the streets of the capital will increase — 33 New Year trees will decorate the city. Tatsiana Buharkova, head of the design department of "Minskreklama," told BelTA about this.
New Year trees have already begun to appear in various corners of Minsk. Since installation takes place in three stages (first the frame is erected, then spruce branches are added, followed by the ornaments), the trees are currently at different stages of completion.
For example, in the Sokal microdistrict, the tree is already decorated with ornaments.
Work is underway in Hugo Chávez Park, on Rusiyanov Street, in Palianka Square, and on Asanaliev Street.
New Year trees will also appear in several new locations — for instance, on Shabany Street and Heroes of the 120th Division Street.
“A New Year tree will also be installed near the Town Hall. It will be decorated in a retro style. Anyone interested in how the New Year was celebrated in the past will be able to come and see it. All decorations will be created with an emphasis on visual perception. Vintage postcards and ornaments will be placed on the tree. The retro theme will resonate with lovers of history, which is remembered from generation to generation,” said the company's representative.
Naturally, trees will also appear in traditional locations. The country's main tree will be located on Kastrychnitskaya Square near the Palace of the Republic.
“This will be a 30-meter beauty surrounded by a festive installation, which this year, as always, will delight Minsk residents and guests of the capital,” noted Tatsiana Buharkova.
Another interesting location with a New Year tree will open in a familiar spot — near the Sports Palace. For years, the main public festivities have been held here: bustling open-air markets are set up, along with a stage and rides for children.
“This venue will become a center of attraction for guests, Minsk residents, and children. It will also feature a new design concept, including a symbolic portal into the New Year. It will be interesting there — as at any New Year location where you can find great spots for selfies,” said Tatsiana Buharkova.
Details of the design have not yet been disclosed, but the company promises that each location will be very beautiful.
