Scarlet Sails

The Scarlet Sails is a celebration in St. Petersburg, Russia, occurring during the White Nights Festival every summer. The event attracts around one million people with free entertainment including rock-stars, orchestra, ballet and other classical acts. It also features large-scale events on the Neva River, such as rowing and motorboat races, and a battle with pirates. The tradition began in 1968, and has since become a main part of the White Nights celebration. In 2020-21, the celebration was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but returned in 2022.learn more on wikipedia
