Perfect Weather for Moscow's Favorite Picnic Festival

The annual Afisha Picnic — a music and lifestyle festival — in Moscow's Kolomenskoye park is one of the highlights of the summer season in the Russian capital.



This year, like last year, at least?  50,000 people turned up to enjoy the picnic's offerings. They played badminton, bought new shoes, ate falafel and  listened to some of the best Russian and international musicians in concerts on two stages.



The  festival was headlined by Russia's most popular and venerated rock stars, Zemfira, who got a cheer when she said that the Afisha picnic was the best summer festival in Moscow. The day of perfect weather ended with a spectacular fireworks display over the Moscow River.?
