"Scarlet Sails — 2026" began with the appeal of graduates of previous years

The graduation celebration "Scarlet Sails — 2026" began with the appeal of those who graduated from school in different years. The Russians wished future students the fulfillment of their dreams, uttered parting words and shared how their lives turned out.

The program includes congratulations from the heroes of our time. The Palace Square has become a symbolic point of unification of different destinies, cities and generations.

"You're a graduate. You have a new life," the 2013 graduate began.

It is symbolic that this year there is a lot of talk about cherished desires. After all, the concept of the concert part should reveal the theme of a person and his dreams. The 1970 graduate encouraged them to pursue their goals and assured the graduates of overcoming all obstacles.

"It was easy for us, we knew that we were expected and welcome anywhere in the country," said the 1992 graduate.

The holiday on Dvortsovaya Street will develop as a consistent journey. In the first episodes, viewers will find themselves in the very heart of the "City of Dreamers" among young people who are just beginning to realize their aspirations and are taking the first steps towards their realization. The country is really already waiting for its new heroes.

"We made wishes, dreamed. And these dreams have come true," said the 1998 graduate.

The 2011 graduate called for dreaming, fulfilling your dreams, and helping people around you.

Graduates will have an exciting stage ahead: admission, new acquaintances, and their first adult decisions. Therefore, it is especially important now to hear wise words from older comrades.

"Childhood dreams have come true, now only adult dreams," said the 1989 graduate.

The finale of the concert will also be symbolic. The audience will be able to watch the "construction" of the ship: from a children's drawing to a large-scale sailboat ready to embark on a big voyage. This metaphor will be the culmination of the main idea of the holiday: dreams are born inside us, and it is man who is able to bring them to life.

"A celebration of happiness, hope, and entering a new life," the 1990 graduate congratulated.
