Sergey Sobyanin summarized the results of the festival "Summer in Moscow. Everyone outdoors!"

The seasonal festival "Summer in Moscow. Everyone on the street!" attracted almost 10.5 million guests, as well as the attention of business and NGOs of the capital. This was reported by the mayor of the capital Sergey Sobyanin in his personal blog on September 24.

"The new festival has seriously diversified the poster of summer events of the capital and - what is very important - helped to understand, what this poster want to see Muscovites themselves. Most of all the citizens were interested in creative and sports master classes, trainings and concerts. Every day Moscow offered thousands of events on boulevards, in squares and parks, on embankments, stadiums, our traditional festival grounds, and most of them within walking distance from home," he wrote.

Sobyanin noted that a total of 139 NGOs took part in the festival, which held workshops for all comers and familiarized Muscovites with their activities, taught guests how to bake gingerbread and collect humanitarian aid. More than 35 thousand Muscovites took part in such seminars or active leisure activities.

Besides, as the mayor of the capital pointed out, cultural and sports events were held in parallel. Thus, "Sports Weekend" invited more than 200 qualified specialists to conduct almost 2.4 thousand classes on yoga, stretching, dance and functional trainings

"In 10 parks Muscovites trained and fulfilled the standards of the GTO complex: running, pull-ups, push-ups, long jump, etc.". More than 320 thousand people took part in various sports activities within the festival", - said Sobyanin.

In addition, street markets were held on Nikitsky and Chistoprudny Boulevards, and on Gogolevsky Boulevard one could play chess. The Mayor of Moscow pointed out that dog owners could attend the "Friend, Rescuer, Defender" series of events with contests and useful lectures about their pets.

"The festival "Summer in Moscow. Everyone outdoors!" became part of the "Summer in Moscow" brand, which covered several projects at once. All its festivals included more than 131 thousand events, united more than 38 million guests. All these street festivals for many people have become a great opportunity to spend as much time as possible in the fresh air and get energized by summer", - summed up Sobyanin.

Earlier, on September 22, Sobyanin said that since the beginning of the year ten high-tech companies have become residents of "Technopolis Moscow". He reminded that for residents of SEZ there is a special tax regime and significant benefits.
