In the previous three years, residents and guests of the city were invited to watch the colourful lights in the sky from Yubileynaya Square. This time it was not involved – all activities were concentrated in the centre of Penza.

The launch of the fireworks was the final chord of the second day of celebrations, which had begun the day before and will end on 6 September.

Shortly before, a new light and music fountain, built with the participation of Sberbank, was officially opened near Moskovskaya Street.
