The story

Tatar Sabantuy Uzbekistan in Tashkent/Fergana

Sabantuy, the Tatar and Volga-Bashkir plough festival dating to the Volga Bulgar era, is celebrated annually by Uzbekistan's Tatar diaspora at Tashkent's Central Culture and Recreation Park, drawing tens of thousands of spectators and billing itself as the largest Sabantuy celebration held outside Russia and the Tatar homeland.

Sabantuy traces back to the Volga Bulgar period, when Turkic communities along the Volga River marked the start of the spring sowing season with communal games, wrestling and feasting before the agricultural work of the year began in earnest.
