St. Petersburg, June 29 (Xinhua) — The annual Scarlet Sails school graduates’ festival took place in St. Petersburg on the night from Saturday to Sunday, bringing together almost 100 thousand schoolchildren from all regions of Russia.
This year, the stage space of the festival was divided into three zones, which created a single architectural image. The area of all the multimedia screens on the stage was about 1 thousand square meters. More than a hundred artists took part in the concert program, and they worked both on stage and in the air and water.
The culmination of the celebration was the appearance of the brig “Russia” with scarlet sails accompanied by salutes and fireworks in the waters of the Neva.
The Scarlet Sails festival originated in Soviet times and has been held annually at the end of June since 2005. It is included in the register of world event tourism. In 2024, the Scarlet Sails concert and water-pyrotechnic show was watched by almost 37 million people around the world. –0–
