The New Year's charity campaign Our Children kicked off in Mogilev on 15 December. The festival on Lenin Square featured fairy-tale characters, stilt walkers, costumed characters and more than 120 Fathers Frost and Snow Maidens. The most awaited event was a ceremony to switch on the lights at the region’s main New Year tree which was more than 35 meters high with a pixel garland consisting of 16,000 lights.
