Vladivostok, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) — Tiger Day was celebrated in Vladivostok, the capital of Russia's Primorsky Krai, on Sunday.
In the morning, children and adults in striped suits and themed face painting gathered on the Sports Harbor embankment to take part in the "tiger parade," try their hand at various workshops, and watch a concert.
The procession began at noon. Around 70 teams, comprising approximately 2,500 people, signed up to participate in the marching column competition. Participants created colorful tiger-themed costumes, crafted 3D tiger figures, sewed costumes, and learned themed chants.
The event was organized by the government of Primorsky Krai, the administration of Vladivostok, the Amur Tiger Center, and the Russian Geographical Society.
The environmental holiday has been held annually on the last Sunday of September since 2000. The goal of Tiger Day is to draw public attention to the problem of preserving wildlife, including the Amur tiger population. –0–
