Picnic Posters announced dates and cities in 2026

The organizers of the Afisha Picnic announced the dates of the main cultural event of the summer. In 2026, the festival will be held again in two capitals: on June 20 in Moscow, in Kolomenskoye, and on August 8 in St. Petersburg, on Elagin Island.

Kolomenskoye Park is the historical house of the Picnic, where it was formed as an integral symbol of the Moscow summer. Yelagin Island is a new point of attraction, reflecting the atmosphere of the northern capital.

Afisha's picnic has long outgrown the status of a musical event, becoming part of the urban lifestyle. It is a universal space where music, gastronomy, culture and design meet, forming an infinite number of possible scenarios of modern leisure for the whole family. The festival is a clear example of the creative industry's ability to create sustainable value, both economically and emotionally, for brands and audiences.

"Today, the Afisha Picnic is part of the cultural code of both capitals, which determines the rhythm of the entire summer! We are pleased to announce the time and place of our celebration next year. In 2026, we will reopen summer in June in Moscow and spend it in August in St. Petersburg. We are grateful to our audience for devoting their precious time to our festival. Together we will create a space where culture and lifestyle combine around emotions," said Evgeny Sidorov, CEO of Afisha.
