The Afisha Picnic Festival was held in Moscow

The Afisha Picnic returned to Kolomenskoye. More than 30 thousand guests, 25 artists, as well as entertainment, gastronomic discoveries and art objects. The guests of the festival were waiting for performances by "Hands Up!" and LAUD, Sirotkin and Lisa Gromova, and much more.

In one day at the Afisha Picnic, Mnogoznaal presented a rare concert with a special program, DOPECLVB staged a reunion, and CREAM SODA proved that electronic music in Russia continues to evolve. The pop group "My Michelle", freshgirl from R'n'B Rozalia, Uma2rman, post-punk heroes Owl — each created a unique atmosphere on their stage.

Outside the music venues, the guests explored the curated market with conceptual brands (from accessories and cosmetics to clothing and even stylish puzzles) from Krakatau to Preacher Say Amen, tasted the author's metropolitan street food from more than 40 food projects: Fettuchiamo, Cultural Code, Salatnica, Shawarma Bar, Other Bread, Dodgy, YCP and others. Here, as well as on the stages, there were also premieres. For example, the pop-up tea room from Afisha Restaurants and Nitka, decorated with a birch log cabin, haystacks and wildflowers, created a cozy space with tea from a samovar and rustic pies.

The festival space brought together a variety of activities: graffiti battles from Graffiti ABC and Valgalo Company Walls, cycling workouts from Rock the cycle, a mental map of the city with the Museum of Moscow, creative images from Dry&Go, Chor X Chor, Arive Makeup and Birdie, meditative yoga sessions, intellectual crafting games-puzzles from Game in Game. Each element of the festival worked to create a holistic immersive experience where entertainment became part of the cultural code.

The children's area at the "Picnic" has become a mini-fest within the festival. The little guests immediately immersed themselves in the atmosphere, built castles from constructors based on Russian epics, performed performances in their own theater and even grew a "harvest" in a sandbox garden. Especially for the festival, the Rambler portal created a smart AI guide that told guests what was happening right now and in which location, and for those who liked to plan ahead, he could create an individual visit plan depending on the user's musical interests and gastronomic tastes.

Among the tens of thousands of guests who came to support the festival: Maria Fedorova, ex-editor-in-chief of Russian Vogue and co-founder of the DIVNO brand, with her daughter Veronica, actors Slava Kopeikin and Alexander Novikov, the family of Russian singer, musician and producer Sergei Zhukov, actresses Kristina and Angelika Kashirina, Sasha Kiselyova, bloggers Karina Hovhannisyan, Nina Roshior, founder of the communication agency No Name Buro Idris Gitinaev.

On August 9, the festival will arrive in the Northern capital on Elagin Island along with the legends of Russian rock "Dancing Minus", adherents of pop-funk "BAZAAR", Sirotkin, Tima is looking for light and many others. The program and tickets are here — Moscow remembers this day, now it's St. Petersburg's turn.
