Nauryz is an ancient traditional festival that is celebrated in Kazakstan as well as in Central Asia, Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, the Middle East and other regions. It marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring and can be traced back over 5000 years as a pure expression of appreciation of the nature, its cycles and celebration of life.
