Russian Winter Festival

The Russian Winter Festival, which takes place in Moscow every year from mid-December to mid-January, features extravagant ice sculptures, entertainment, and festivities.

The Festival is a big cultural event that takes place every year, with greater zeal and larger events each year. Performances of traditional Russian music and dance, games, crafts, cuisine, and more can be found at Izmailovo Park and Revolution Square. Visitors to the Moscow winter festival will be able to sample Russian traditional winter dishes such as bagels, jam, and tea, as well as participate in a variety of local cultural events.

Some of the Russian Winter Festival's events harken back to Russian history yet are still relevant in today's culture. At the Moscow Winter Festival, sledding, with or without snow, is a popular pastime. Swings are also employed, which are copies of those used in 16th-century Russia.

Three horses linked to a sled replace the warm-weather horse and carriage in a troika ride, which may be one of the most exhilarating of the old-fashioned hobbies.

Date: Mid-December to Mid-January
