Second international fireworks festival Rostec. International fireworks festival "Rostec"

On July 23 and 24, Moscow will host a fireworks festival that is becoming traditional. This year the festival includes not only beautiful fireworks, but also an entertainment program! True, the entrance to the park, where all the action will take place, will be paid...

Taking into account all their incredible problems with, where, due to the growing forest, half of the show program was not visible to the visiting guests, the organizers of the 2016 festival made many changes to the program.

So, this year the fireworks festival will be held in…. yes, exactly in it. In the Maryino area, or even more precisely - Borisovo. Brateevsky Park, which was restored, improved and seriously updated especially for the event, will welcome all Muscovites! The advantage compared to last year is that there are few trees. It should be visible to everyone. Even for those who don't buy tickets...

Here's the downside. Having always been free, the fireworks festival is now paid for. Entry to the park requires money. Since the festival is two days, the price is as follows (all pictures are clickable):

Simple entrance to the park to be closer to the action and take part in interactive events and a concert - 250 rubles for 1 day, 400 rubles for two. From a person. Children under 8 years old are free. In general, it’s not that expensive, you can live with it. Do you want to watch the fireworks from the best places as close as possible? Buy a subscription to the grandstand, which, together with the entrance, will cost 1,250 rubles for 1 day and 2,000 for two days.

Not expensive, but not free either. What is the money for? Most likely for concerts. Let's take a look at the entertainment program and schedule of the fireworks festival in Moscow in 2016(picture clickable):

There are many interactive zones waiting for us, I won’t list them all, they are clearly visible on the event map. There will even be a dome cinema and a concert stage. Young bands will perform on stage, and Polina Gagarina on Saturday and Chaif ​​on Sunday are expected to headline in the evening with full concert sets! This is what the general schedule of entertainment programs in the park looks like:

The concerts will begin at 5 p.m., at 7:30 p.m. the headliners perform big sets, and then at 9:30 p.m. the fireworks show and festival itself begins.

8 pyrotechnic teams from 8 countries will take part in the festival: Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Malta, Portugal, France and Estonia.

Well, this year the festival is getting bigger and more interesting. I'm planning to visit, will you go? By the way, for those who really don’t mind spending money, you can see the fireworks, of course, outside the park. But only the riding part, like last year.

The easiest way to get to the festival is on foot from the Borisovo metro station. The entrance to the festival will be at the intersection of Borisovskie Prudy and Natashinsky Proezd.

This is the fourth time the event has been held with the support of the Moscow Government. Last year the festival attracted more than 700,000 spectators.

“Once again, Moscow will become the center of attraction for the leaders of the world market of pyrotechnic displays. “Tens of thousands of volleys await festival guests in the Brateevsky Cascade Park,” said Nikolai Gulyaev, head of the Moscow Department of Sports and Tourism, “I am confident that pyrotechnic masters from different countries will find something to surprise the sophisticated Moscow audience this year.”

Year of Volunteer and Charitable Activities

In the Year of the Volunteer, the theme of the festival is dedicated to goodness and magic. It will be revealed at different levels: from the daytime program to pyrotechnic shows.

“For the Rostec company, which includes the majority of pyrotechnic enterprises in Russia, the fireworks festival is not only a platform for demonstrating the technological capabilities of Russian pyrotechnics, but also a chance to give a real holiday to the residents and guests of the capital,” comments the Assistant General Director for Social Projects of the State Corporation “ Rostec,” Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company organizing the “Pyrotechnic Technologies” festival, Yulia Voronova. “We pay great attention to the social component of the event. The partners of the festival this year were the charitable foundations “Line of Life”, “Old Age in Joy”, “Penetrating into the Heart”, the Konstantin Khabensky Foundation and the Vera Hospice Foundation. To support the funds, a number of volunteer and charitable activities will take place on the site.”

Art objects and day program

Traditionally, during the festival, Brateevsky Cascade Park turns into an interactive open-air museum with many art objects. This year they are being developed by the legendary artist and experimenter Andrei Bartenev. All art objects will be tactile, you can interact with each of them: hug it, climb on it, take a photo. Walking through the art labyrinth, viewers will meet a cat in the sun’s rays, a bear with an armful of flowers, an elephant and many more exhibits that will charge you with solar energy and joy. The height of some of them exceeds 5 meters. The main symbol and art object of the festival will be a sunbeam.

On August 18 and 19, Brateevsky Cascade Park will open to guests at 14:00.

On August 19 and 20, 2017, an international fireworks festival was held in Moscow. It was held in Brateevsky Cascade Park. The participants were 8 pyrotechnic teams from different countries. On August 19, Austria, Armenia, Romania and Japan performed. August 20 - Russia, China, Croatia and Brazil. The performances were evaluated by a professional jury. Spectators could also vote via SMS directly during the teams’ performances.

We visited Brateevsky Park on August 20. I’ll say right away that the impressions are twofold. The show itself is amazing, but the organization is disgusting. We had a large company: 4 adults and 3 children. Seats were taken on stand A. It is located close to the river.


So, a story in three acts.

ACT 1 - ENTRANCE

The fireworks show was scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m. We (me, my husband and my 3.5-year-old son) met with friends (also with children 3.5 and 7 years old) near the Borisovo metro station at 20:00. The option with a car was shallow right away, realizing that there would be problems with parking.

The number of people near the metro was already alarming. We went with the general flow towards the park. It was not possible to approach the park directly. Borisovskie Prudy Street was completely blocked. The cordon, the National Guard - everything is serious. The flow of people was directed along the blocked street towards the Brateevsky Bridge (in the opposite direction from the park). From the bridge it was already possible to walk towards the park. Apparently, in this way they tried to spread out the crowd and avoid queues at the entrance. By the way, there were free toilets along the way. It was a long and far walk. It's good that everyone was excited. We arrived on a positive note, but the crowd of people personally bothered me.

At the entrance to the park, tickets are checked and bracelets are put on according to the ticket price. Children enter free of charge. You need to go through a metal detector and then show the contents of all bags.

The journey from the metro to the park took us almost an hour! The density of visitors in the park has increased sharply. There were no signs visible. It is not clear which side of the podium it is on. I had to ask representatives of the National Guard several times where to go. It is very difficult to navigate in a crowd. People occupied all the space: they sat and lay on every lawn. The closer we got to the intended location of the stands, the more difficult it was to move forward. I was afraid to step on someone's feet, hands, or even head. Several times we ran into barriers and had to find another road. By some miracle, we still found the entrance to the stands area. It took us 30 minutes to do this. We had to practically run to our sector. We saw the first salute of fireworks in the form of the Russian flag during the raid. While the presenter greeted the audience, we managed to reach the desired sector and take our seats.

ACT 2 - FIREWORKS FESTIVAL

As soon as we sat down, the performance of the pyrotechnic team from Russia began almost immediately. The tension after the crush and wandering disappeared. From the stand And the best view, everything was visible perfectly.



Fireworks were launched directly over the Moscow River from the opposite bank. Each performance lasted 10 minutes, was accompanied by music and was very spectacular. Between the performances of the pyrotechnic teams, the presenter entertained the audience with stories and various interviews. Each number was rated on a 100-point scale.


The children were delighted and the adults too. Our son clapped and squealed with delight for the first two performances, then he got tired and just silently watched attentively. I didn’t make any attempts to leave, which is a big compliment to the whole event.



Each foreign team must use one musical composition dedicated to Moscow. Probably due to the fact that the theme of the festival is Moscow on seven hills. We were most amused by the Chinese with their song Podmoskovnye Evenings in Chinese.


It was the best fireworks display I've ever seen. I liked the performance of China and Brazil the most. However, none of these teams took a prize. The rating system remains a mystery to us. Well, at least the Chinese team won the People's Choice Award.


ACT 3 - EXIT

After the last team performed, it was announced that Russia was the winner. People began to leave the stands as the presenter announced the results. We sat until the last, as it seemed to us. When the stands were almost empty, we also decided to move forward. At the exit from the stands there were volunteers who showed the direction to the Borisovo metro station. We didn't see a single volunteer again. After a couple of minutes, the crowd thickened so much that the children had to be carried in their arms for safety. Everyone walked shoulder to shoulder. This was the moment when I was really afraid that we could all be run over here if panic suddenly broke out. At some point, the crowd split up and some people walked across the lawns, but in the end everyone ran into the fence and walked back into the general crowd. There was no management, no control, no one told people where to go to get out of the park.

We finally got out of the crowd and out of the park and ended up on the still closed Borisovskie Prudy street. We took a detour again. When we reached the Brateevsky Bridge, the fences were removed along the entire street. The crowd poured through all the streets and courtyards towards the metro. We decided not to stand in line to enter the metro and stood outside in the courtyard for half an hour. Then we calmly went into the subway.

The journey from the stands to the metro ended up taking us more than an hour.

EPILOGUE

The fireworks were incredible, amazing, spectacular. Everyone was greatly impressed by what they saw. The children are delighted, the adults are happy. The organization of this entire event is simply disgusting.

Shall we go again? Don't know. I would like to, but in such a crowd with children it is very scary. For safety reasons, it is worth coming much earlier, when there is not such an influx of spectators. And leave 40-60 minutes after the end of the show. Perhaps then we will be able to avoid the crush. And definitely buy tickets only for the stands.

On July 23 and 24, 2016, the II International Fireworks Festival will be held in Brateevsky Cascade Park« Rostec".
