The final show of the year for North Korea’s “grand mass gymnastics and artistic performance,” often referred to as the ‘mass games,’ was held at the May Day Stadium in Pyongyang on Tuesday, tour companies told NK News.
This year’s version of the propaganda show -- titled “Land of the People” (or “People’s Country”) and involving tens of thousands of participants for near-nightly performances -- ran from June 3 through October 15, with one short break in the first month.
