Dozens of bright hot air balloons will rise over St. Petersburg, illuminating the sky with a soft light. The festival will capture the hearts of locals and tourists with its beauty. This summer, the Northern capital will host the Ballooning Festival "Dream! Fly!" for the first time. Spectators can expect a stunning spectacle: shimmering balloons in the sky above the city's main attractions in an atmosphere of romance and celebration. The festival will take place on August 23 and 24 at the 300th Anniversary Park of St. Petersburg. Competitions for hot air balloon pilots will be held on the shores of the Gulf of Finland - a bright and spectacular show high above the ground. Launches are scheduled for the morning and evening of August 23, as well as the morning of August 24. Flights are dependent on weather conditions. A concert featuring well-known artists - Varvara Vizbor, Nastya Abrutskaya and Just For You Project, Markscheider Kunst, SHOO, and other artists - will take place on stage. The festival area will also feature thematic zones where everyone can participate in creative workshops, games, quests, and sports activities. Visitors can relax in lounge areas, while photo zones and art objects will inspire vibrant snapshots. Additionally, on August 22, a prologue to the festival will take place in the city center on the banks of the Neva River: the balloons will glow in the evening sky to classical music. The show will unfold against the backdrop of architectural landmarks, making it even more mesmerizing. For more details, visit the official website. Join us on VKontakte and Telegram.
