Independence Day of Kazakhstan
Since 1991 Kazakhstan celebrates December 16 as its Independence Day, after the adoption by the Supreme Council of the USSR of the Law on Independence and State Sovereignty of Kazakhstan.
2011 is the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan's independence. It's the national holiday.
And this year Kazakhstanis will be officially celebrating this special event for two days 16th and 17th December, which are Friday and Saturday.
If normally Saturday is not your working day, you will also have Monday off, as Saturday as the business day will be moved to Monday. Now you have 16, 17, 18 and 19 to enjoy all the entertaining and cultural events prepared exclusively for joy.
However, if you do normally work on Saturdays then you need to be ready for Monday. Three days are still a good time off work, ain't it?
Whichever part of Kazakhstan you are in, you just need to go to the local main square to see what's on and enjoy it. It might be too miserable outside to sit inside all day.
Fingers crossed for the weather. Although, no guarantee for the whole territory of Kazakhstan, it's too vast to forecast the same good weather.
Leave the Independence Day to go back to other public holidays
