“Holidays in Uzbekistan”

The traditions of Uzbekistan are flavoured with holidays and festive dinners. Here are the most important religious and state holidays of Uzbekistan as well as memorial dates that are part of the history and culture of the nation.

New Year in Uzbekistan, 1^st of January

New Year is one of the most favourite holidays in Uzbekistan. Everyone is waiting for heavy snow on New Year’s eve. Unfortunately, snow is a rear thing in the region and if it snows on holiday, it becomes twice festive and happy day.

Just like other nations, Uzbek people celebrate New Year with Christmas tree in the houses and central squares of the cities, decorate the city with festive lights and buy presents. The central square of Tashkent becomes the centre of festive events.
