Bishkek, March 5, 2022 / Kabar /. An event was held in Bishkek dedicated to the Day of the national headdress – Ak kalpak.
As part of the celebration, the capital hosted a dance flash mob, a procession in national costumes, a competition of national clothes and an exhibition of drawings on related topics.
Since 2016, March 5 is officially considered the Day of the national headdress of Ak kalpak, but it does not have the status of a non-working day. The holiday has been celebrated unofficially since 2011.
Ak kalpak is included in the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of mankind. The UNESCO website notes that the craftsmanship of ak kalpak is a traditional Kyrgyz craft and a cumulative, constantly evolving set of knowledge and skills transmitted by artisans in their respective communities, including felting, cutting, sewing and embroidering patterns.
