Governments spend a lot of money on public celebrations such as national holidays and public festivals. Some people say that the government spends too much on this and that they should use this money on other useful things. Do you agree or disagree?

National events and public celebrations are part of government spending.

However

, it is often argued whether an excessive amount of

money

from the state budget should be used for events or

money

should be allocated for other needs. I personally tend to favour the latter statement and believe that

money

should be directed

the development of infrastructure or modernize existing ones, while

By contrast

, public spending allocated on annual public celebrations may enhance only joyfulness for a few days rather than the quality of life in general.

However

, despite the costly holding events, they play a crucial role in the creation of close-knit community boosting public’s spirits and raising proud in the country by

traditions. For

this

reason, the governments may engage investment in national festivals.

This

is important because it is not only may contribute to saving

although

public festivals are a key to creating a strong bond and feelings of pride in the country, from my point of view, the administration may attract funds from sponsors;

instead

may be used to upgrade infrastructure as it has prolonged effects on people’s well-being.
