The country's main family event will be held at VDNKh on July 8

On July 8, 2026, the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, which was approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the central event of the All—Russian Family Parade will take place at VDNH in Moscow. The large—scale celebration, which unites hundreds of thousands of families across the country from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka, will once again be held under the motto "Russia is a family of families!"

As noted by the chairman of the Organizing Committee, the head of the All-Russian public movement "Family" Andrey Kormukhin.:

"The All-Russian Family Parade is getting bigger and bigger every year. This is because this is a truly national event, born not on someone's orders from above, but from our deepest, root values, of which the value of a strong, multigenerational, large family is one of the most important. The Family parade is the phenomenon that united our society from atomized individuals into a family of families."

This year, the All-Russian Family Parade will cover more than 200 Russian cities, and several thousand people are expected to attend VDNH in Moscow. The main venue of the festival will be the Northern Loop and the space at Pavilion No. 57, where the main events will unfold: a festive procession, a concert program and an award ceremony for large families.
