We widely and brightly celebrate Novruz Bayramy – the Spring Holiday, here, in the foothills of the Kopetdag every year. The origins of National celebration go far to the centuries. This is one of the most ancient of many nations including Turkmen one.

This social and cultural facility is designed for 3000 people. Actually, this is a big concert hall, the podium for conducting of public of nation-wide and international celebrations and performances, which is built in the shape of huge yurta.
White yurta symbolize the adherence to the roots, origins and spiritual values of the nation. Certainly, it is not used as a dwelling anymore, however, having gone beyond the limits of this role, it became the embodiment of the respect of traditions, family foundations, holiness of home hearth and unity.
In Turkmen mentality, «Ak öý» represents an original model of the universe, which base is a circle – the symbol of the Sun what also is an allegory of eternity of being, reasonable and spiritual principalities. It has special consonance with Novruz – the celebration of vernal equinox, friendship and fraternity between the nations.
It is worth mentioning that the opening ceremony of «Türkmeniň ak öýi» was held in administration centre of Mary Velayat in November 2015, where under the status of the Cultural Capital of Turk World 2015 delegated to the city of Mary, the concert of art masters of Turk countries has taken place. Another important fact is that during grandiose celebration in this excellent facility, four thousand people have sung patriotic song by Turkmen Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov “Go! Go, my beloved Turkmenistan!” all together. This was registered as a world record and put in the Guinness Records Book.

Such equestrian shows invariably bring a mass of emotions of the spectators. It also made tremendous and indelible impression on the guests and participants of V Asian Games.
Speaking of the popularity of horse races in Turkmenistan as well as of fancy horse riding on circus arena, it is impossible to miss the debut of our sportsmen in international show jumping competitions that were crowned by the gold medal of 2017 Asian Games.
