A lot of attention has traditionally been paid to charity. The citizens and guests of the capital collected and handed over more than 35 thousand gifts to the "Houses of Kindness" of the Moscow Helps project. Many people attended the winter charity festival "City of the Caring", the events of the volunteer project "Time of Kindness", the inclusive exhibition "World without Borders" at the Flacon design factory and became the "Santa Claus" of the "Make a Wish" campaign.

Citywide festivals were particularly popular.

More than 170 ice shows staged by the best Russian figure skaters took place at the project sites. Olympic champions and other sports stars took to the ice. The program includes performances based on favorite fairy tales: "The Nutcracker", "Swan Lake", "The Bremen Town Musicians", "The Snow Queen".

More than 37 thousand cups of Moscow tea were drunk at the Moscow Tea Party festival, and 120 thousand portions of pancakes were eaten during the Moscow Carnival.
