Sails of Kronstadt Festival
As has become tradition, the hallmark of the Sails of Kronstadt musical, sporting and gastronomic festival will be water sports activities. This year, the Sails of Kronstadt will officially host Russia’s first Efoil race – electric surfboards with hydrofoils.
Visitors to the festival will not only be able to watch the sports activities but also join in: throughout the day, there will be sailing ship management masterclasses, family competitions, and relay races.
This year’s festival will highlight two important historical anniversaries – the 320th anniversary of the city of Kronstadt and the oldest fort in the Baltic, Fort Kronshlot.
The festival will feature a rich stage programme: adults and children will enjoy performances by the world-famous Licedei theatre, an acrobatic programme by artists from the legendary Cirque du Soleil, a magical illusion show, and a bubble show.
For the first time, the Sails of Kronstadt will have colourful fair zones. These will be presented by the St. Petersburg Fair project and dozens of residents from St. Petersburg, Leningrad Region, and other cities in Russia. It’s a large market of delicious food, handmade goods, and local brands, scattered throughout different corners of the Island of Forts.
Access to the event is by invitation only.
