- Story Text: Fireworks above the Kremlin and dancing in the streets
have marked Moscow's annual City Day celebrations.
Fireworks on Saturday (September 1) evening capped off
the first day of celebrations in the Russian capital.
The holiday is Moscow's annual tribute to its historic
founding in the 12th century as a provincial outpost.
During the day, sunshine and music brought out Muscovites
to the streets in the thousands.
Folk bands played at major city squares as dancers filled
the streets--some of whom seemed to have got round the city's
holiday-induced temporary ban on the sale of alcoholic drinks.
City organisers held special events for children and
families as people strolled and paraded through the city in
the late evening.
Festivals will continue on Sunday (September 2) as weather
forecasts indicate the Russian autumn will hold off with its
worst for the party-goers.
