== Bashkir Holidays and Celebrations ==
| Ҡыш || [qɨʃ] || Winter


Bashkirs celebrate various holidays throughout the year, each with its unique traditions and rituals. Here are some of the most important festivals:
|-


=== Sabantuy (Summer Festival) ===
| Бейеү || [bʲeˈjʊ] || Dance


Sabantuy is one of the most popular and frequently celebrated holidays in Bashkortostan. It is a summer festival celebrated in June or July, depending on the lunar calendar. Sabantuy loosely translates to "holiday of the plow," and it marks the end of the spring planting season.
|-


Sabantuy is characterized by traditional games, dancing, and feasting. The most popular game is baiterek (tree of life), where participants climb a greased pole to reach the prizes at the top. Another game is tugan tel, where two players pull on opposite ends of a stick to see who can make the other lose their balance. These games have a long history in Bashkir culture and are often practiced throughout the year.
| Тапшырыу || [tæpʃɨˈru] || Submission


During Sabantuy, people dress in traditional clothing, which includes embroidered shirts and long, flowing skirts for women. The highlight of the festival is the feast, which features traditional Bashkir cuisine such as chak-chak (sweet fried dough) and shulpa (meat soup).
|-


=== Kurban Bayrami (Feast of Sacrifice) ===
| Уйнау || [uɨˈnɑʊ̯] || To play


Kurban Bayrami is one of the most important religious holidays for Muslims worldwide. It marks the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, known as the Hajj. The festive occasion involves sacrificing an animal, usually a sheep or a goat, as a symbol of obedience to Allah. The meat from the sacrifice is split into three parts: one for the family members, one for relatives and friends, and the third part for the poor and needy.
|}


The Kurban Bayrami is celebrated around the world and is an important holiday amongst the Bashkir Muslim community. It is celebrated on the 10th day of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. Apart from the sacrifice, one also visits relatives and exchange traditional sweets, and other festive delicacies.
=== Important Customs and Traditions ===


=== Chak-Chak Day ===
==== Family Gatherings ====


Chak-Chak day is celebrated in October in certain parts of Bashkortostan such as Ufa, the capital city. The festival is a celebration of the traditional Bashkir dessert of the same name.  
Family plays a central role in Bashkir culture. Many holidays are opportunities for family gatherings, where members come together to share meals and stories, reinforcing bonds and traditions.


Chak-chak is made by frying dough, which is then coated with a hot syrup made of honey, sugar, and sometimes sour cream. The festival includes a cooking competition where participants compete to create the most unique and delicious varieties of chak-chak.
{| class="wikitable"


=== Maslenitsa (Butter Week) ===
! Bashkir !! Pronunciation !! English


Maslenitsa is a popular holiday, celebrated in many parts of Russia including Bashkortostan. It is a one-week festival that precedes the start of Lent. During Maslenitsa, people eat large amounts of pancakes, which are a symbol of the sun, and engage in traditional games and festivities.
|-


One significant feature of Maslenitsa is the burning of a straw effigy known as "Maslenitsa." The burning of Maslenitsa symbolizes the end of the week-long celebrations and the beginning of spring.
| Ғаилә || [ˈɡæjlə] || Family


=== New Year's Eve ===
|-


New Year's Eve is one of the biggest and most anticipated holidays in Bashkortostan and across Russia. The city squares turn into a vibrant hue of lights, garlands, and ornamentation which makes being outdoors a spectacle to behold.
| Уйҙар || [uɨˈzɑr] || Thoughts


People visit each other's homes, attend fireworks displays, and enjoy festive foods such as Olivier salad, kholodets, Shurpa and other traditional cuisines. New Year's Eve night is also the time when Russian president sends his wishes and speeches, which are often broadcasted on television.
