The Street of History
The city festivity in the center of Moscow offers its guests a wonderful opportunity to travel back in time to find out about the secrets and mysteries of the various epochs that have come to live.
At Tverskoy Boulevard vivid historical events will unfold starting from Russia of the X century to the 80-s of the XX century.
"The Street of History" is the retrospective of the most significant moments of the past.
Guests will be able to find themselves in ancient Rus of the X-XV cc. and see the ancient wedding ceremonies or – in the Time of Troubles and witness the moves of marching training. Meanwhile at the site featuring the time of Peter the Great one may learn how to load a cannon and hussars will teach how to fight with a saber.
At the the XX century location one may rent a dress and join a historic celebration stepping among those who hail Yury Gagarin after his flight into outer space, at the site of the 60-s, or enjoy the real Soviet eskimo ice-cream at the site of the 80-s.
In 2014, the festivity will move to a new format – an excursion one. An interactive programme has been developed. Some festival sites will operate in the format of "flash mobs".
Admission to the festival grounds is free of charge.
