Defenders’  Day  (Men’ s Da y )
   On January 14, 1992, the Armed Forces of 
Uzbekistan were organized under the 
newly independent state, prompting the 
government to declare this date as 
Homeland Defenders’ Day.
Although not counted among public 
holidays in Uzbekistan, Homeland 
Defenders’ Day is a significant event.     
Celebrations involving the Ministry of 
Defense, Ministry of the Interior, National 
Security Service and other agencies are 
held in city plazas, where congratulations 
and awards are issued by the government.
In addition to being a professional military 
holiday, Homeland Defenders’ Day is widely 
observed as Men’s Day in Uzbekistan. At 
home, school and the workplace, men are 
congratulated with gifts and treated to 
special meals as a show of respect and 
admiration for their role in the family and 
their military service. March 8,  I nt ernat i onal  Wom en's 
Day
    International Women's Day, celebrated on 
March 8th, coincides with the first awakenings 
of spring. The holiday has long been 
synonymous with beauty and femininity and is 
a day to shower women with special attention, 
flowers and gifts. Jewelry, perfumes, chocolates, 
cakes and the like disappear from store shelves 
in Uzbekistan as women are honored in ever 
sphere of society. Special meals are prepared 
and toasts, poems and songs are recited in 
honor of the female gender, with both 
professional and small-scale performances held 
throughout the country. Although in many ways 
the 8th of March serves as the equivalent of 
Mother’s Day in Uzbekistan, its scope is broader 
and includes recognition of all wives, mothers, 
sisters, daughters, girlfriends and 
female classmates.    Navruz (Nowruz) is without dispute the 
most colorful holiday in Uzbekistan. Its 
history dates back three thousand years 
and is rooted in the ancient cult of sun 
worship and Zoroastrianism, which were 
once widespread in Persia and Central 
Asia. Today it is associated with the rebirth 
of nature, new life, joy and kindness.
    The most popular Navruz dish in 
Uzbekistan is sumalak, a taffy-like treat 
prepared from sprouted wheat and flour. 
Although customarily cooked the night 
before Navruz, it can be made any time in 
early spring. The tedious process of 
stirring the huge cauldron of ingredients 
nonstop unites friends, relatives and 
neighbors in a joyful gathering 
punctuated with music, laughter and fun. March 21, Hol i day Sept em ber 1,  I ndependence Da y
   Independence Day was the first official 
holiday declared by the newly independent 
republic, and every year since then the 
people of Uzbekistan have celebrated it 
with full gusto.

unique holiday program is prepared which 
reflects the traditions and culture specific 
to that region. Activities include folk 
performances, sports competitions, special 
shows and noisy fairs filled with the 
colorful displays of local craftsmen. In 
Tashkent, the main festivities are fittingly 
held at Mustakillik Square (Independence 
Square), where hundreds of participants, 
dozens of bands, dance troupes and pop 
stars are gathered for an unforgettable 
event. The evening concludes with a 
grandiose fireworks show.    Oct ober 1,  Tea chers’  and   
Ment ors’ Day
    True to its name, Teachers’ and Mentors’ Day 
in Uzbekistan is an opportunity to express 
gratitude to those who have impacted lives 
through education. Like all Uzbekistan 
holidays, it reflects an important cultural value, 
for the people of Uzbekistan have long held a 
special respect for educators: it is not unusual 
for teachers to be invited to a family wedding 
or celebration, where they are shown special 
honor, and students will sometimes stay in 
contact with a beloved teacher even after they 
have grown and are raising children and 
grandchildren of their own.
   In the days leading up to Teachers’ and 
Mentors’ Day, various events are held in 
every school, from preschool up through 
university.      Decem ber 8,
