Against the backdrop of city buildings, palaces and temples, this spectacle will become even more attractive and large-scale. For some time, the Neva will turn into a springboard for a fabulous action that many people in the world want to see.

The show doesn't last very long - twenty-one minutes. However, during this time the St. Petersburg sky will be illuminated by fifty thousand salvoes. We can say that the heavens will literally bloom with fiery flowers.

More than two hundred people work on the program to please the eye. While there is a pyrotechnic show, an orchestra will play over the waters of the Neva. Every year different melodies are selected for “Scarlet Sails”.

At the end of the program, the “Secret” ship will appear - a ship with scarlet sails. It will pass along the river bank accompanied by musical accompaniment.

IN On the night of June 23-24, the main St. Petersburg summer show - "Scarlet Sails - 2018" will take place.
Scarlet Sails is our main “branded” city holiday in St. Petersburg, a sort of St. Petersburg summer New Year.

The Scarlet Sails holiday was first celebrated in St. Petersburg in 1968 and was celebrated for 10 years until 1979. Then BFL took a break and began to be celebrated again in 2005. It is held on the weekend closest to the longest day of the June white night.

This year the holiday turns 50, which is why all viewers should expect a show that has never happened before. The city authorities assume that about 80 thousand graduates (former schoolchildren) alone will take to the streets and embankments of the city.

The Scarlet Sails festival will begin at 22:00. By tradition, the main venues for the event will be Palace Square and the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island. One of the symbols of the graduates holiday is traditionally, which can always be considered as a transition from school life into adulthood, from the past to the future.

An unusual stage will be built next to the General Staff building. From 20:00 to 22:00, graduates and their guests will gather on Palace Square, and the rest of the audience will gather on the Spit of Vasilievsky Island. This year access to the Palace Bridge will be opened. But it is better to reserve a place there in advance - most likely several hours in advance.

The program will start at 22:00 with a theatrical prologue on Palace Square, and at 22:20 concerts will begin at both venues. The host of the concert has been Ivan Urgant for several years. His colleagues in different years there were Yulia Kovalchuk, Yana Churikova, Alexander Gudkov, Alla Mikheeva, Olga Shelest, and in the last two years this honor has been given to the showman by Channel Five journalist Daria Alexandrova. In total, 350 people will perform on stage during the evening.

The headliner of the concert is one of the leaders of the rap movement, the group Basta. In addition, Ukrainian singer Alekseev and Russian rapper ST (Alexander Stepanov), Alsou and Marie Crimebreri, Artyom Pivovarov and Victoria Daineko, My Michelle and Quest Pistols Show will perform on Palace Square.

At 00:40 the public will be treated to a mesmerizing light and pyrotechnic show, the culmination of which will be the appearance of a ship with scarlet sails on the Neva. Under the flash of fireworks, he will sail along the main waterway of the city and remind the public how important it is to believe with all your heart in a beautiful dream. There is no use waiting for him at the Bronze Horseman! He will pass by Summer Garden and will make a turn at the Hermitage. The entire show will take place at the Hermitage. It is useless to stand near the Bronze Horseman.

There will also be a pyrotechnic show on the Trinity Bridge. The organizers have prepared many surprises and technical structures that have no analogues in the world.

00:50 passage of the brigantine “Secret” under scarlet sails.

At 01:10 the audience will be able to return to the stage: concert program will resume and continue until 04:00.

Entry to Palace Square will be based on invitation cards, which will be issued to graduates and their parents. Some of the tickets were sent to other cities.

Holiday video

Informal advice:

1. The weather seems good, but it might rain at night. This year the summer is good, but it is always cool near the water. In addition to the jacket, take a windbreaker or a cheap raincoat for 100 rubles. As good as it gets! And it’s convenient to take pictures and hide from the rain and wind. It's always colder near the water! If your girlfriend says FI! Take two, and then you’ll give her your raincoat anyway. Don’t take umbrellas, you’ll break them and gouge out the eyes of others, you might get in the way of beatings.

2. Wear tight, closed shoes. NOT SANDALS! It is impossible to look at your feet in a crowd; there will definitely be broken bottles or other feet in heavy drunken shoes, at a minimum.

3. You will not be allowed into the area where you can dance with your own bottles or any liquid, even in plastic!

4. The metro will operate all night, which is convenient. BUT! Access only by tokens. They will work all night at 30 minute intervals. bus routes 8, 12, 56, 77, 80, 93, 106, 114, 142 and 154, trolleybus 37, which run between metro stations and residential areas of “dormitory” areas. The rest of the transport will start working no earlier than 4 am.

5. Don't take up space on the embankment. You stand for a long time, you can’t move away (you’ll lose your place), there’s a crush and you can’t really see anything. It's better to hang out on the roof, on a boat or near the stage. The screen is more visible and beautiful, and fireworks can be seen from everywhere. The best place IMHO is at the stage on Strelka, but even better at home on the couch watching the live broadcast.

6. If you are not alone, take CHARGED mobile phones. It's very easy to get lost! One young man in 2011 I was looking for my elderly mother, whom I brought for the holiday and lost. He made his way through the crowd and shouted in a wild, frightened voice MOM! MOTHER! Help! She won't find her way home! Everyone sympathized with him, but they could not help him. I was even scared for my mother. It's very easy to get lost there. I hope everything is fine with them.
Agree in advance where you will meet in case you get lost. If not local, write a note in the children’s pocket with your mobile phone number and hotel address. It's easy to get lost in the crowd, but there are always a LOT of people.

7. Go to the toilet in advance and don't drink beer before. There are toilets there, but the queues will be wild.

8. If you are driving, it wouldn’t hurt to have a regular stool with you on which you can sit and if you need to stand. But if you cross the bridges from the Petrograd side towards the center by car, getting back will be problematic.

9. Once again - dress warmly, take a raincoat, FULLY CHARGE YOUR MOBILE! Check the chargers of those you are traveling with. If available, take a charger.

10. It’s best to watch the show with a boat a day earlier, during the dress rehearsal))) but watch the fireworks in full on the holiday itself)))

11. There are websites selling tickets to the rooftops. Immediately clarify what will be visible from it, otherwise you can pay 3000, and the Neva and the boat will not be visible at all, only fireworks. They can local residents don't let him in and the night could end in police custody. As far as I know, officially you can even get onto the roof of the Hermitage (there is an LLC that officially sells tickets) it recently cost 5,000 rubles, but just before the holiday it could be more expensive.

Often you can only buy tickets for Scarlet Sails via the Internet. It's better to do this in advance. The best viewing from a pleasure boat. You can buy tickets
