The main winter festival will keep you entertained! Come to try traditional New Year dishes, visit themed zones, skate on ice rinks and carousels, choose souvenirs, and receive greetings from Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. The grand festival transforms Moscow: beautiful decorations appear on the streets, themed venues with concerts and shows open, and fairs are held. Activities take place not only in the city center but also in the districts. In 2025, the festival will start on December 12 and last until January 11. New Year decoration of the city Photo: provided by the organizer Don't forget to charge your phone - you'll have to take a lot of photos! A tourist route has been laid out in the city center that connects the main festive locations. In Manezhnaya Square, a city of Christmas ornaments in red and green hues has unfolded. Here, a winter village with a Christmas tree and houses has grown, a stage with concerts and performances operates, and even Christmas mail - you can write a letter to Santa Claus. From Manezhnaya to Revolution Square, there is a fair in the style of the late 19th century - trading chalets, festive aromas, photo zones with theatrical scenes. On Novy Arbat, a "gift street" has unfolded with decorated Christmas trees, red bows, and festive compositions. At each of the 35 venues, a New Year atmosphere has been created with decorations, art objects, and interactive zones. The city's decoration is complemented by more than 10,000 plants - traditional fir trees and exotic species like hollies. Sporty winter entertainment Photo: provided by the organizer In winter, there is a high risk of sitting on the couch, but don't give in to "Oblomovism." At the festival, you can skate to your heart's content on beautiful ice rinks. Sports enthusiasts can look forward to curling training sessions and matches, team relays, and hockey games.
