At 21:00, the 140-meter-high Ferris wheel will shine with the colors of the Russian tricolor.
On this day, free open-air concerts, theatrical performances and creative workshops will also be held in Gorky Park, Sokolniki and the Hermitage Garden.
Festival “Moscow Estates” invites you for the aesthetics of past centuries. All weekends in June, guests are welcomed by Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno, Kuskovo, Izmailovo and other venues. Admission is free, but some lectures require registration. Guests can drink tea from a samovar at traditional tea parties, listen to classical music on the grass, watch historical plays and play ancient games such as croquet. This is a great place for beautiful summer photos.
Also open every day on weekends outdoor swimming pools within the city: in Luzhniki, Sokolniki, on Dream Island and the Northern River Station. Choose from heated outdoor city pools, a classic lap pool or a multi-pool space including a wave pool and a resort-like atmosphere. It is better to buy tickets online in advance, as there are always a lot of people on warm days.
