Almaty Municipal

In Almaty, the organization of major public events such as New Year and Nauryz celebrations is primarily managed by the Akimat of Almaty, the city's administrative body. Within the Akimat, the Department of Culture plays a significant role in planning and executing these festivities.

For instance, the Department of Culture oversees the preparation of New Year's fireworks and related activities. In December 2024, they announced that a fireworks display would take place at Astana Square, sponsored by private contributors, scheduled to begin at midnight on December 31, 2024.
