The Centennial of the Founding of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a series of ongoing national celebrations and festivals in the Soviet Union to mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on the Creation of the Soviet Union on 29 December, 1922 (effective 30 December). The planned festivities were announced on 25 November and celebrations began on the 10th of December. Festivals will be held in varying locations from 10 December, 2022 to 22 April, 2022 in two stages: the first from 10 December to 29 December counting the days until the Treaty of Creation was effective, and the second stage focusing on smaller festivals celebrating the birth of Vladimir Lenin, regarded as the founder of the Soviet Union. Many of the flags of the Union Republics were subject to redesigns in preparation for the event, and it was ordered that a major celebration and parade take place in the capitals of every Union Republic.
30 December is marked as a non-working holiday for the centennial, and the centennial's festivities also overlap with the celebration of New Years' Eve and Day.
