"Each city district will be represented. We hope that each column will have a landmark, an outstanding feature of its own," he noted at the press conference held in the mayor's office on Wednesday, June 6.

Victor Kuvaytsev added that this year for the first time the procession will be opened by a parade of motor vehicles from a private collection.

According to him, the exhibited retro models will then be displayed at the parking near the building of the Penza administration.
