Russian term or phrase: день города
вот кстати о птичках. речь идет о дне города в Москве, т.е. это не city anniversary, а просто -- некий праздник со всенародным гулянием... как его правильно обозвать?
ужель Day of the City?

Local time: 09:40
Moscow Day, Venice Day... etc
Explanation:
Not sure about in the States Zmejka but in the UK this is an unfamiliar concept. Day of the City would be understood but it sounds slightly odd. I think it sounds a bit more natural to incorporate the city's name in the title of the festival as above.
