National holidays
The Altaian holidays are a fascinating sight. Such holidays as, for example, El-Oiyn held in various regions of the Republic since 1988, Chaga-Bairam, Dylgayak and many others help to integrate people of different origin and nationalities.
Each region presents its best - talents, merits and features - for the popular holidays held in the Altai Republic. Tourists and guests may see spectacular historical performances, which tell about the past of the Altaian people (legends, myths and eposes). There are various concerts and competitions held during such holidays. Here, one may buy different handicrafts and enjoy local sights.
