Most Christians have Christmas, and there is exactly one week left before the New Year, during which you can enjoy the pre-holiday atmosphere in snowy Petersburg. And Rosbalt has again prepared for you a selection of interesting events for the last week of 2021!
Festival “Sneguria”
The Sneguria festival will take place on Saturday, bringing together participants from all over Russia. Already 18 lei, it is annually held in Priozersk and is a symbol of the preservation of folk New Year traditions tied to Russian fairy tales, where the main role is assigned to Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
Anyone can come and take part in the competition of Snow Maidens and Ded Morozov. The age limit applies only to the Snow Maidens – the girls taking part must be 16 years of age or older. You can take part in the festival both by a creative team and a small team.
The festival will conclude with a presentation of prizes and fireworks. Admission is free, see the official Vkontakte group for details.
Personal congratulations from Santa Claus

Waiting for the New Year as a child is a real magic. How joyful it is to write letters to Santa Claus, to prepare for matinees and “Christmas trees” and look forward to gifts! Unfortunately, now, due to the pandemic, many children’s holidays are being transferred to the online mode, and children do not have the opportunity to communicate with Santa Claus and make something to think about.
To please the little ones, we suggest you try the free service from Mail. You can order a personalized greeting for your children in a few seconds. It is enough just to enter the name, age, hobby of the child and a wish for him. You immediately have access to a five-minute video that you can download. In it, Santa Claus will wish the child a Happy New Year.
Children’s faith in magic does not last so long, so make sure to give the kids a holiday!
Immersion. Horn music in the digital age
On the 15th anniversary of the Russian Horn Orchestra, the LenDoc cultural center will host the premiere of the Immersion program under the direction of Sergei Polyanichko. The event will take place on Sunday 26 December at 19:00.
The “IMMERSION” program is an appeal of musicians to young people who want to touch their own souls. This is how the artistic director of the Russian Horn Orchestra Sergei Polyanichko presented his new work.
In “Immersion” there is no plot basis, and the music consists of separate numbers. This is a waltz, and a pavana, and a bolero. The orchestral line-up at the premiere will be string-horned.
New Year’s “Intelligent flea market”

This time “Intelligent flea market” is dedicated to the New Year theme. On the weekend of December 25-26, the next “Intelligent flea market” will take place in the Sevkabel Port space, where everyone can buy goods imbued with the spirit of Christmas and New Year.
Guests of the event will be able to purchase vintage clothing, distinctive ceramics, sweets, wooden toys and much more. It is also worth recalling that most of the products are handmade. The “intelligent flea market” will be divided into several zones, which will include the famous ice rink, food court and merchandise zone.
You can get acquainted with the market participants on VKontakte. You can also apply there if you want to become a member.
