What time is the Scarlet Sails water and pyrotechnic show today?
On the night of June 27 to June 28, the main celebration of Russian graduates "Scarlet Sails" will take place in St. Petersburg. It will culminate in a large-scale water and pyrotechnic show with the passage of the snow-white brig Rossiya under scarlet sails along the Neva River.
The water and pyrotechnic show on the Neva River will begin at 00:40. A little earlier, at 20:00, the concert part of the program starts, youth groups will perform for graduates, and at 22:00 Russian pop stars will take the stage.
In 2026, the brig Rossiya will repeat the route of last year: it will start moving at the Senate Square, pass under the Palace Bridge, perform a 360-degree turn at the Winter Groove and continue on its way to the Trinity Bridge, welcoming graduates. The return route will run along the Palace Embankment — from Troitsky to the Palace Bridge.
The best way to watch the water-pyrotechnic show is to broadcast on Channel Five. Thanks to modern technology, viewers across the country and beyond will be able to view the Brig Rossiya from the best angles.
The Scarlet Sails holiday was revived after a long-term hiatus in 2005 on the initiative of ROSSIYA Joint Stock Bank, the Government of St. Petersburg and Channel Five. Since 2019, he has had his own ship, the snow—white brig Rossiya, and since 2022, the Scarlet Sails have also been held in Mariupol.
A "City of Dreamers" was built on the Palace Square for the concert. The guests will enjoy not just a musical show, but a multi-layered artistic story about choosing a path, inner strength and the future that everyone creates with their own hands. The directors will propose to look at the dream not as an abstract desire, but as a living process that begins in childhood and runs through the entire life path.
Earlier, Izvestia told who will perform at the Scarlet Sails in 2026.
