For the first time, the All-Russian Wedding Festival was held in 2024 as part of the International Exhibition and Forum "Russia". On the first day of the event, more than 300 people registered their union. This event was included in the Russian Book of Records. And during the entire time of the Russia exhibition, 564 people got married — this historic event remained in the memory of 282 families for the rest of their lives. Some of the families created at the First All-Russian Wedding Festival have already had children.

The National Center "Russia" was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to preserve the legacy of the International Exhibition and Forum "Russia" and demonstrate the achievements of the country and its citizens on an ongoing basis. Federal authorities, state-owned companies, corporations and regions participate in the work of the center.

The National Center "Russia" is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The center is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
