Summary

This is a recently created national holiday, but not a public holiday.

Day of Culture and Artists and the Day of Magtumguly Fragi Poetry take place on June 27th every year. This date embodies the relation of national culture, art, literature forming a single whole and enhancing the importance of art and poetry in the life of people. This is because the culture is a soul of the nation and art is its heritage.
