Sports Day in Kazakhstan
August 16 · Level 9 · #228 of 2238
Sports Day in Kazakhstan recognises athletes, coaches and everyone who helps people lead more active lives. Elite achievements share the spotlight with everyday participation, so you do not need a medal collection to feel part of the occasion.
How it is celebrated: communities organise competitions, public sporting activities and demonstrations. Athletes and coaches receive awards, while amateur participants get opportunities to try different events.
The holiday takes place on the third Sunday in August rather than on a fixed date. It brings many disciplines under one celebration, including team games and traditional Kazakh wrestling.
