There are only two weeks left until the New Year, and the pre-holiday rush has already begun. But we advise you to take a break, exhale and enjoy the moments. And to enjoy them more pleasantly, Rosbalt has prepared for you a selection of events for the next week.
Market by the Sea Festival
How often do we put off something, and then urgently try to do everything at the last moment. New Year comes every year at the same time, and for some reason many people do not have time to prepare for it. In order not to go shopping in search of gifts on December 31st, we advise you to take care of this early. And you will save time and nerves.
On the weekend of December 18 and 19, the New Year’s “Market by the Sea” will take place. In addition to a large number of shops with designer gifts: ceramics, dishes, clothes, you will find a lecture hall, master classes and musical accompaniment. And most importantly, the magical atmosphere of the upcoming holiday awaits you.
More than 150 participants will present unusual and original gifts. You will definitely find something for yourself and for your loved ones. Purchased gifts can be sent immediately by free New Year’s mail.
Children’s animation will work on the market, where you can leave the children to play while shopping. A lecture hall will also be available. Music from DJs will accompany the event and give guests a festive mood.
A QR code is required to visit Market by the Sea. Also, do not forget to follow the personal protective measures.
See the event’s official Instagram account for details.
Online festival “Could life be a starling”
On December 18, at 17:00, an online concert dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the birth of the poet Osip Mandelstam will take place. Another date this year is associated with the poet’s name: 110 years since the founding of the “Workshop of Poets”. In general, the reason is serious.
At an online concert, you have the opportunity to remember or get acquainted with the work of Mandelstam. His poems will be read by actors Victoria Tolstoganova and Artur Sopelnik. However, this concert is not just a recitation of poems, but a big festival. The online broadcast will feature artists Noize MC, Zhenya Lubich, Zoloto and Billy’s Band.
“This will not be just a jubilee festival, but a whole musical film filled with symbols and metaphorical images. It will help to take a fresh look at the creative path of Mandelstam and assess the scale of his genius in the context of our era, ”the organizers describe the festival.
The broadcast will take place on the platform.
Collection of New Year gifts for the homeless “Mandarin duck and stew”
Last week we talked about a charity event to help nursing homes. This time Rosbalt is in a hurry to share with you the news about another good charitable action. How pleasant it is to do good deeds! And in such a magical time, everything good and bright will definitely return to you in a string.
Until December 26, each of us can become a wizard and give someone a New Year’s miracle! Everyone loves the New Year, because it is a family holiday that people traditionally spend at the festive table at home. However, there are people who find themselves on the street for various reasons, but also want this New Year to be remembered with joyful moments.
“Nochlezhka” announces the collection of New Year gifts for the homeless “Mandarin duck and stew”. The organizers are going to collect 700 gifts for the homeless in St. Petersburg.
If you want to participate in the promotion, bring gifts to the addresses indicated on the official website. Among the things homeless people need: refined sugar, tea bags, sweets, cookies, puree and instant noodles, canned food, soap, wet wipes, toothbrushes, machine tools, personal hygiene products, socks, gloves and other trifles. Anyone can afford such a gift, but even such a trifle will give someone a feeling of a holiday.

New Year’s market on New Holland Island
Another New Year’s Bazaar has appeared in St. Petersburg! We have already talked about many parquets and fairs, but rest assured: they are all unique and definitely worth a visit.
Until the end of the winter, one day 22 kiosks with gifts and souvenirs will be open in New Holland. Look for them near the main entrance to the Forge and in the “Bottle” yard.
