Lovers' Day in Kazakhstan
April 15 · Level 4 · #1385 of 2238
Lovers' Day in Kazakhstan is an unofficial spring celebration for couples and young people. It isn't on the state calendar; it's simply a good excuse to say "I love you" out loud.
How it is celebrated: couples exchange flowers, cards and small gifts and go on dates, while some cafes and city venues put on themed offers for the day.
Kazakh culture has its own classic love story: the epic Kozy Korpesh and Bayan Sulu, a tragic tale of devotion that was handed down by word of mouth for centuries.
