It is especially beautiful in the evenings when the whole square starts to sparkle with bright lights. Every detail that is well-thought-out fascinates.

“Nizhnekamsk turns into a fairy-tale town on the threshold of New Year. We try to go to all New Year sites on the holidays and, first of all, we come here. It is impossible to describe the atmosphere reigning here with words. It is a miracle!” citizen of Nizhnekamsk Minsalikh Shaydullin shared his impressions.

According to people, everything amazes on the New Year site. There is a 16-metre white New Year tree in the centre of the urban square adorned with hundreds of lights. Tens of living firs sparkle with LED garlands around it, polar residents “settled down” around them: reindeers and white bears.

The huge bauble traditionally became the gimmick of the New Year site. Citizens of Nizhnekamsk and guests of the city take photos in the background with pleasure, while professional photographers and TV operators rush to the N. Lemayev Square to capture mesmerising photos of the city here.
