Since 2016, the Association of Restaurateurs and Hoteliers of Kazan and the Republic of Tatarstan has been reviving the folk tradition of collecting gifts for Sabantuy. Every year, dozens of cafes and restaurants in Kazan present their gifts, which are given to the winners of the main Tatar holiday - the Plough's Feast.

The column with the participation of KIU students and staff moved along the route from the Kremlin to the Kamal Theater. Everyone could take part in the Ceremony, choose a location convenient for them and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the holiday.

Announcing the city with cheerful national motifs, the participants of the procession reached the final point - the square in front of the Galiaskar Kamal Tatar Academic Theatre, where theatrical performances unfolded and the best folklore groups of the Republic of Tatarstan performed.

All collected gifts will be solemnly handed over to representatives of the Vakhitovsky district administration for presentation to the winning batyrs of Sabantuy.
