The brig Rossiya, under scarlet sails, entered the waters of the Neva River

The main symbol of the graduates' holiday "Scarlet Sails – 2025", the brig Rossiya, entered the waters of the Neva River. At the event on June 28, the passage of the ship under the festive fireworks is the culmination of a grandiose show.

This year, the brig Rossiya started at the Senate Square, then it will pass through the open gate of the Palace Bridge, after which it will make a 360-degree turn at the Winter Groove, and then continue moving towards the Troitsky Bridge to greet all graduates. The return route of the brig will run from Troitsky to the Palace Bridge along the Palace Embankment.

This year, the concept of the holiday is the memory of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory.

What surprises await the audience at the Scarlet Sails Alumni Celebration

The history of the Scarlet Sails dates back to 1968, when the country celebrated the 265th anniversary of the city on the Neva. However, after 11 years, the tradition was interrupted. The holiday moved from Leningrad to Sestroretsk and gradually lost its former scale. The celebration was resumed in 2005 at the initiative of the Government of St. Petersburg, ROSSIYA Joint Stock Bank and Channel Five. Since then, the "Scarlet Sails" have been held annually during the white nights, becoming the hallmark not only of the Northern Capital, but also of the whole of Russia.
