Every year, St. Petersburg hosts one of the most prestigious entertainment events in Europe: the White Nights Festival. Held in July, the international arts festival brings together a spectacular program of classical ballet, opera, and music concerts.
But to whet festival-goers appetites, the historic Russian city stages the equally amazing Scarlet Sails Festival. Set along the banks of the Neva River, this incredibly colorful and vibrant gala features a tall ship in full scarlet sail passing along the waterfront under a cascade of exploding pyrotechnics and dancing laser beams.
Browse this gallery and navigate your way through one of the most visually expressive festivals ever devised.
