This Saturday, August 27, at 12:30, Moscow’s VDNH will be welcoming the annual marching parade of the Spasskaya Tower International Military Music Festival, which this year is celebrating its 15th birthday. 

Over ten Russian and international creative groups, participants of this year’s Festival evening shows, will bring on the gripping atmosphere of joy and happiness. You will have a chance to enjoy musical presentations by our guests from Armenia, Belarus, Venezuela, India, Thailand, and Egypt. Some of the best Russian military ensembles, including the Central Band of the Russian Navy, the Band of National Guard Forces Chief Department for the Krasnodar Region, the Band of the Russian Emergencies Ministry, the Combined Band of the Airborne Forces, and the Band of the 1st Army of the Air Defense and Anti-missile Defense Forces, will also take part in the event. Guests of VDNH will also be treated to the performance of the Suvorov Cadet Band of the Lieutenant General Valery Khalilov Moscow Military Music College, the usual showstopper of the Festival’s evening shows. 

Over a thousand participants, featuring musicians and dancers, will march along the main and central lanes of VDNH starting at 12:30 near the Friendship of Peoples Fountain. This dazzling celebration of music will last for about two and a half hours and will present the Muscovites and guests of the capital with their excellent music skills, unique musical instruments, and gorgeous outfits.

Held by the Center of National Equestrian Traditions, the daytime program of the Festival will also feature a plethora of other activities, including a show by the Kremlin Equestrian School and a vaulting competition.
