A new series of holidays is approaching, but this year the holidays have been slightly reduced. For the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day, for example, this February, only one day is allotted – Wednesday. However, do not rush to get upset – you can always arrange a holiday for yourself! Treat yourself and your loved ones and spend this weekend unforgettable. And Rosbalt has again prepared for you a selection of interesting events for the coming days.
Zoological walks along the streets of St. Petersburg
Where to go with children on weekends? Due to restrictions, all activities for the little ones have been cancelled, but we have a solution!
Until the end of February, you have the opportunity to participate in exciting walks organized by the Leningrad Zoo. While the inhabitants of the zoo miss their little guests and look forward to meeting them, the children have the opportunity to learn more about the animal world outside the zoo.
The Leningrad Zoo is launching a series of walks and quests along Kronversky Prospekt. In a playful way, children and adults will get acquainted with the architecture of their beloved city and with the animals that have become the decoration of St. Petersburg. All materials necessary for the quest can be bought at the box office of the Leningrad Zoo. Look for details in the official group of the Leningrad Zoo “VKontakte”.
IV Festival “Book lighthouse of St. Petersburg”
All weekend from February 18 to February 20, a large book festival will be held in St. Petersburg. This is a traditional holiday for true connoisseurs of books.
The Book Lighthouse of St. Petersburg festival is an event where libraries, publishing houses and bookstores simply bring book lovers together at different venues in St. Petersburg. at the festival you can listen to lectures about books, see presentations of new publications and participate in the discussion of books. The organizers also hold talk shows, discussions, master classes, performances, round tables and film screenings. All participants of the festival have a unique opportunity to communicate with experts in the field of the book industry and meet their favorite writers.
The opening of the IV Festival “Book Lighthouse of St. Petersburg” will take place on February 18 at 12:00 in the Russian National Library. This year you can become a participant of the festival online. Check the details on the official website.
Charity market “Vinyl is nice to me”
And if you prefer music to books, we have another offer for you! Every year in St. Petersburg there is a traditional market “Vinyl is dear to me”, which brings together collectors, musicians and music lovers of St. Petersburg.
This year the market takes place at the AF Brew Taproom on February 20th. This is a market where you can not only buy rare modern records, but also help homeless animals. By purchasing something on the market, you are participating in a charity event, and part of the funds goes to help the wards of the Ilyinka shelter. Guests will be able to listen to music, chat with like-minded people and learn something new from the world of music. The organizers will also raffle certificates for the purchase of vinyl among the guests.
Entry to the event is free, mask required. Check the details in the official VKontakte group.
Excursion “Petersburg by tram: brilliant and not so”
Petersburg is always beautiful – at any time of the year and from any angle. Perhaps the most beautiful and breathtaking views of our city are from rivers and canals. However, while the season of water walks has not yet begun, we suggest you admire the northern capital from a different angle.
On Sunday, February 20, we invite you to take a ride around St. Petersburg in a historic tram, listening to an exciting tour. It would seem that residents of St. Petersburg every day see the city from the windows of cars, buses and minibuses. However, in everyday bustle, we do not have time to enjoy the stunning beauty of St. Petersburg, to think about the most interesting history of the creation of each building, cathedral and even patterned lattice on bridges.
And it’s all incredibly exciting! You can see trams on the streets of the city less and less, so even an ordinary trip in this type of transport will already plunge you into history. The tour will start at the tram depot on Vasilyevsky Island. Further, the route runs along the Petrograd side, Liteynaya part and the Central district of St. Petersburg.
The tour will last two hours. All this time you will be accompanied by an experienced guide. You can find detailed information on the official website.
