White Nights Festival

Due to the latitude, St Petersburg does not get dark even during the night from early June to late July. People celebrate this remarkable phenomenon called the "White Nights". The highlight of the festival is the Scarlet Sails celebration. You can enjoy extraordinary fireworks, a concert and a water show during which an incredibly illuminated boat with red sails will pass through.
