On May 12 at 12:00 on the Pushkin embankment of the capital a solemn event dedicated to the opening of the new navigation season in the Moscow basin will begin. This year for the first time the celebration will be held on a grand scale - the organizers have prepared a large-scale water and music program for the audience.
The celebration will start with a brass band performance and a drummer show. Then near the Pushkin embankment of the Central Park of Culture and Leisure will take place the water show culminating with the performance of flying riders and wakeboarders, among whom are Russian and world record holders and Guinness World Records.
EMERCOM rescuers promise to demonstrate their techniques, staging a real rescue operation in the water. Spectators will see a fire boat «Nadezhda», rescue boats and jet skis in action.
The many kilometers long water caravan will be represented by both vintage boats from the 1950s and modern yachts. The unique procession of boats will start from Novospassky bridge near Krutitsky suburbs and move along the center of Moscow to Novoandreyevsky bridges near Luzhniki.
At the end of the holiday in Gorky Park will be a multi-hour concert of pop stars, with Timati as the headliner.
