May 30, the capital's Botanical Garden hosted the eagerly awaited "Salom, Tobiston!" (Aloha Summer!) festival, organized by Asia-Plus Media Group.  The annual event, which marks the unofficial start of summer, drew around 7,000 guests, ranging from families with young children to longtime listeners of Radio "Asia-Plus."

The festival's atmosphere was nothing short of festive, with the Botanical Garden transformed into a vibrant summer oasis.  Guests were greeted by food courts, play areas, and photo zones, as music, laughter, and the sounds of children filled the air, all set against the stunning backdrop of blooming nature.

The official part of the event began right after the opening. The charming hosts, Lola and Mehrubon, took the stage, and Asia-Plus Radio Program Director Subhon Jalilov greeted the guests with warm words about summer, listeners, and the importance of such gatherings. He was joined by a representative from the festival's main partner, the company Obi Zulol.  

The opening was followed by various activities, including an impromptu football tournament and an "open microphone" where attendees had the chance to express their gratitude to their parents.

Throughout the afternoon, festival-goers enjoyed a wide range of activities, from singing and dancing to playing chess, with even a yoga session included in the mix.

For many, "Salom, Tobiston!" has become more than just a celebration — it has become a cherished tradition, a chance to bond with friends and family while embracing the joys of the season.

As the sun set on the festivities, attendees left the festival not only with prizes and photos but also with a renewed sense of joy and excitement for the summer ahead.

Asia-Plus would like to extend special thanks to the companies that made the event possible, including its main partner Obi Zulol, official partner Lindavit, and other supporters such as children's schools Akvarelka and Art Doshan, ROBX robotics school, YogaHouse Studio, Madagascar Children's Center, Paykar, Dodo Pizza, Chokoberry, and the Specialized Sports School for Chess and Checkers Olympians No. 7 in Dushanbe.
