Knowledge Day is celebrated in Russia every year on September 1 and marks the beginning of the new academic year.

The holiday was officially established in 1984, when the Supreme Soviet of the USSR declared September 1 the single start date for schools across the country. Over time, it has become not only an official event, but also a truly family celebration, symbolizing new beginnings, learning, and the joy of meeting friends and teachers again.

Traditionally, Knowledge Day has always been associated with a festive atmosphere: school assemblies, the ringing of the first bell, flowers for teachers, and the excitement of a new chapter in life. Today, it brings together students, parents, and educators, remaining an important part of Russia’s cultural calendar.

We invite schoolchildren and their parents to celebrate the start of the academic year at the Dunay Restaurant. With every meal ordered, our young guests will receive a complimentary serving of delicious ice cream — a sweet addition to this special day.
