The Russian winter Festival takes place across main cities in Russia every year (equating to the 12 days of the western Christmas). In Moscow, in Izmailovo Park tourists are offered diverse opportunities to get acquainted with traditions of the New Year festivities in Russia, to hear world famous singers and musicians and see the best performances.
Tourists are greeted by Father Frost, Snow Maiden, and Russian Buffoons. Guests participate in the merry folk games, dance round the New Year tree, have an unforgettable sleigh ride through the winter forest, try Russian pancakes with caviar and drink tea with bagels, honey and jam. The party ends with a concert of Russian folk music.
