2024 Festival Spasskaya Tower — [EN] Spasskaya bashnya

Spasskaya Tower is a music fiesta, a spectacular show, staged on the background of the monumental walls of the Kremlin, and a great ‘battlefield’ of the bands from different countries fighting for the love and admiration of the audience. The harmonious combination of military, classical, folk and popular music, military band parades and dance shows, laser and pyrotechnical effects makes the Festival one of the brightest and most memorable events of the year.

Every year, the cobblestones of Moscow’s Red Square become home of the world-famous Spasskaya Tower Military Tattoo. An experience like no other, it offers everyone something to their liking, be it military precision, wind music performed live, or national colors and vibes from a global cast.

Nevertheless, the Spasskaya Tower Festival is not solely focused on evening entertainment, as there are a multitude of additional initiatives and side events on the agenda, such as the Military Bands in the City Parks and Spasskaya Tower for Children projects.

The Spasskaya Tower for Kids

The Spasskaya Tower for Kids began its story in 2013 and was specially designed by the Spasskaya Tower International Cultural Center.

Program-wise it’s a multifaceted project featuring, inter alia, the Spasskaya Tower Children and Youth Wind Bands Festival, a cultural event where some of the best young musicians can showcase their skills, gain valuable experience, and perform in front of hundreds of guests from home and abroad.
