"We tried to make the Day of the Nizhny Novgorod region as eventful as possible. Our task is to tell as many people as possible about the potential of the region, its beauty, history, culture and its points of attraction. The exposition space allows us to hold events of various formats — from a traditional wedding ceremony to an opera concert, and to present the most striking projects", — said Governor Gleb Nikitin.

One of the main events of the Day of the Region is a wedding ceremony according to the customs of the Nizhny Novgorod province. These customs include tying the palms with a towel, a blessing on a fur coat, and dowry with the sale of the Bush — a small wedding tree. The cultural program includes a concert featuring Nizhny Novgorod performer of Russian songs Maya Balashova together with the Style Quartet ensemble, performances by the academic choir of Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University and the Uma2rman band, and other events.
