The Minsk Independence Day Parade (Belarusian: Парад у Мінску ў гонар Незалежнасці Беларусі) also known as the July 3 Parade is the main event of the Independence Day of Belarus. This parade is held annually in Minsk on July 3. It is held every year except years that celebrate Victory Day (9 May), to which Victory Day Parades are held.
Summary
The celebrations begin as the parade commander (usually the Deputy Defense Minister) arrives to take command of the parade formations from a commander of the first company participating in the parade. At 10am, the President of Belarus arrives on Victors Avenue and gets on the central grandstand to await the start of the parade. The parade commander gives the order to begin the review of the Minsk Garrison by the Defence Minister of Belarus, the parade presenting arms at this juncture. The Deputy Defense Minister of Belarus then reports to the Defense Minister on the status of the parade. Following the report, to the tune of the Central Band of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus playing inspection tunes, both the parade commander and the Defense Minister then review the parade mounted in their vehicles and the Minister, once the vehicles stop upon each company of troops assembled, then congratulates them on the holiday. After this, the defense minister's car heads to the central tribune to the tune of Motherland My Dear (Радзіма мая дарагая) so that the minister can report to the president on the readiness of the parade once his limousine stops in front of the presidential grandstand, following which he disembarks and arrives there, following which the parade is ordered at ease. The president then delivers an address to the nation and congratulates the citizens on the holiday. At the end of the speech, My Belarusy is played by the Central Band of the Armed Forces, with a 21-gun salute being fired in the background. The commander of the parade then gives the order for the Minsk Garrison to commence the parade while at the same time the linemen take their places to mark the distance of the troops marching past.
The order now concluded, the parade then marches off in quick time with the drummers of the Corps of Drums of the Minsk Suvorov Military School setting the pace. As the Corps' bandmaster orders the halt, the massed bands start playing a military march (usually Letter from the 45th by Igor Luchenko as the first song) as he salutes while the drummers swing on the eyes right position. The drummers are just the first of the large ground column of an estimated 2,900 service personnel that marches past the presidential grandstand. There are generally 10 officers and around 140 conscripts in each formation.[1] At the end of the ground columns, the massed bands play Den Pobedy by David Tukhmanov before sounding off to The Sacred War as the mobile column passes through.[2] The exhibition drill at the end of the parade, performed by the Honor Guard of the Armed Forces of Belarus has been held annually since 2002 and shows off the military drill of the armed forces. Following the drill routine, the massed bands sing Our Fatherland's Flag (Айчыны нашай сцяг) before marching off the avenue, officially closing the parade.[3]

For the first time in 22 years, there was no military parade on July 3.[68]
2024
Celebrated the 33rd anniversary of independence as well as the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus. The parade included units from Azerbaijan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tajikstan and Uzbekistan. For the first time, the procession of the flag of Belarus was held before the inspection of troops without the Flag of the USSR and the Victory Banner, which were not present in the parade procession, apart from new military equipment such as the S-400 missile systems were displayed.[69] The parade was led by Major General Andrey Zhuk.
Particularities
- In the 1990s, the parade was held and conducted in the Belarusian language and was transmitted by means of one state television channel. This changed in the 2000s when the language that was used was Russian, and therefore could be expanded to all major channels.[70] At the same time, it was also expanded to Russian language channels in the European Union.[21]
- Since the beginning, the parade has been followed by a Soviet-era traditional march of gymnasts, sportsmen and dancers.[21]
- The president has traditionally wears the commander in chief's uniform during the parade.
- Every five years, reenactors dressed in the uniforms of Soviet partisans take part in the historical part of the parade. Both the uniforms and the weapons are provided by the Belarusfilm studio.[71] This was done at the 2014[72] and 2019 jubilee parade editions was done for the first time in 2020 for the Victory Day Parade.
