Afisha Picnic

Every summer, the Afisha Picnic is a one-day outdoor festival hosted in Moscow, Russia. It is held on the grounds of Kolomenskoye, a former tsar's estate that is now a state-owned historical, architectural, and nature reserve museum 10 kilometers south of the city center.

Since its inception in 2004, the Afisha Picnic has followed a concept that combines a professional music festival with performances by international artists and local independent musicians with an urban-style event featuring a designers' market, gastronomic area, games and crafts, sports and amusements, lectures and workshops, and, on one occasion, even a dance floor on the rollerdrome. A total of 50,000 people attend the festival.

Each year, the Afisha Picnic grows in popularity, bringing a larger audience from all across Russia as well as more media attention from both domestic and international sources. With a growing range of music and leisure activities, as well as the addition of English navigation in 2010, Afisha Picnic is bolstering its position in the international live music and festival business.
