Park re-enactments
This part of the festival features troop reviews and parades, martial arts competitions and grand battles, balls
and concerts. In four Moscow parks, you’ll have the chance to see some of the most important events in which
Moscow, and all of Russia, take pride. From authentic costumes and weapons to portrayals of real historical
characters, re-enactments through augmented reality will reveal the genuine spirit of each epoch.
Open air museum
Kilometres of history on the Boulevard Ring! Seven open air museums will immerse muscovites and visitors in
different historical epochs. You find out more about the fashions of the time, distinctive architectural styles
and see a wealth of museum collections with unique artefacts and artwork on display.
Exhibitions, excursion programmes around the city revealing the country’s past and present along with an authentic programme of theatrical performances and historical cameo performances are just some of the highlights awaiting festival guests.
