On November 18, the country's main winter wizard - Ded Moroz from Veliky Ustyug - celebrated his birthday on the Main Street Stage of the International RUSSIA EXPO. The Days of Ded Morozes (the  Russian analog of Santa Claus) will be held at the Exposition every weekend from November 18 to December 24.

Ded Moroz from Veliky Ustyug decided to celebrate his birthday at the Russia Expo for a reason. "And where else to celebrate it? After all, here we have the whole country as in the palm of our hand! You can get around it, not in an hour, of course, but in two days for sure. That's why all my friends are here, so we'll celebrate here. And in the evening I will light the Christmas tree at home - in Ustyug," - said the wizard.

Visitors of all ages at the RUSSIA EXPO were happy to take pictures with the guest from Veliky Ustyug, because children always remain children, even if they have grown up long ago. Then on the Main Street Stage of the Exposition a New Year's Eve show performance with bright musical numbers, an exciting quest with sweet prizes, outdoor games of dexterity and skill took place.

"All guests of our Exposition have already noticed that the RUSSIA EXPO is starting to prepare for Russia's favorite holiday - New Year, and today we celebrate the birthday of Ded Moroz, who came to us from Veliky Ustyug. We celebrate it with a big company of Ded Morozes, Snegurochkas (Snow Maidens) and Snowmen. Next, we will continue to celebrate the days of other Ded Morozes. For example, tomorrow will be a big holiday - the birthday of the Udmurt Father Frost - Tol Babai," - said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"».
