On the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, Chelyabinsk will once again become a platform for a large family celebration. On July 8, the city will host the IV Family Parade - a large-scale event that will unite thousands of residents to celebrate the holiday of love, fidelity and family traditions.

A good idea with the stroller competition, especially “National Color” and “Fairy Tale Stroller”. Last year my wife and I walked in Gagarin Park on July 8th, there were already many families with children there. I wonder how many strollers Kurchatov will have this time.

Good idea this cart contest, especially "Colyasca-skazka" and "Naționalny kolorit". It will be fun to see what the parents have come up with. My family and I went to the park in Gagarin on July 8 two years ago and it was really full of families, I think this year there will be even more at the Kurceatov monument.

A good idea with a stroller competition, especially "Fairytale Stroller" and "National Color". Last year, my wife and I were also in Gagarin Park on July 8, and a lot of families really went there. I wonder how many strollers will gather near Kurchatov this time.

Хорошая затея с конкурсом колясок, особенно «Коляска-сказка» и «Национальный колорит». Мы с женой в прошлом году тоже были в парке Гагарина 8 июля, там действительно полно семей гуляло с детьми. Интересно, сколько в этот раз колясок соберётся у Курчатова.

Hello Daniela, even I saw two years ago at Gagarin what an atmosphere there was, with so many families gathered. The pram competition will be hilarious, especially at "Colyasca-skazka" - I wonder what the parents will do with that theme. Do you think they will also participate with children older than five, or strictly up to five?

Good idea this competition with corners at Kurceatov, especially at "Colyasca-skazka". Last year, my wife and I passed through Gagarin Park on July 8 and it was full of families, we even stayed a while to look at the children. I think it will turn out nice, but I wonder if the grandparents are coming to help decorate.

That's a nice idea with the wheelie in the "Коляска-сказка" nomination. I remember how we also walked through Gagarina Park last July and there were many families with children there. Let's see how many will come to the Kurčatov monument this year.

Gheorghe Radu

Yes, Florin, the carriage competition will be the most fun at "Colyasca-skazka", I can already imagine some princesses or dragons made from blankets. I say it's strictly up to five years old, that's clearly written in their regulations, so it doesn't interfere with the parades for older children. Would you go with the grandchildren if you had the chance?

It’s good that you and your wife already tried Gagarin Park that day - we were there too a couple of years ago, the children still remember the carousel. The stroller competition will definitely attract attention, especially “National Color”, I’ll be interested in what kind of costumes they will come up with. How many do you think will gather at Kurchatov’s place, two or three hundred people?

Наталія Коваль

Yes, "Fairy stroller" and "National color" are definitely the most interesting nominations, especially when parents embroider or sculpt something by hand. Last year, we were also in Gagarin Park, my son was still sleeping in the stroller, and this time we want to try to design it in the style of "Family Crew". Are you and your wife planning to come again with a stroller or without?

Сергей Белов

Yes, my wife and I were in Gagarin Park a couple of years ago, my daughter still asks me to repeat it on the same carousels. I think that much more than three hundred will gather at Kurchatov’s - last time the column stretched out quite a bit. What year did you walk there with your children?
