The program of both nationwide and local events has been already formed. Anna Lukashenko pointed out that the Marathon of Unity would cover every region of Belarus. The marathon will last two days and include various events. It will wrap up with a large-scale concert. Not only local creative groups, but also those coming from other regions of the country will take part in the concert.
