Moscow has decided to cancel its annual military music festival on Red Square. This event is a popular show that usually happens in the heart of the city.
Officials did not give a specific reason for the cancellation. It is very rare for this show to be stopped. In fact, this has only happened one other time. Back in 2020, the festival was called off because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For now, the famous square will remain quiet instead of hosting the usual performances.
