New Year's decoration of Moscow in NG 2019
To decorate a wide variety of objects - and spruce, and fair pavilions, and installations - they will use warm light of yellow, not white. This will create a cozy homely atmosphere on the streets of the capital. Patterns with a combination of Russian and Italian ornaments became the leading graphic motif. Teams from Russia, Italy and France will work on the project.
For example, experts from France have developed a unique project for Tverskaya Street. According to their idea, the lanterns along the street will turn into stylized wine glasses with bubbles of champagne.
Manezhnaya, Tverskaya, Pushkinskaya and other central squares of the city will be decorated with light carved arches. They will also appear in Novopushkinsky square, on Nikolskaya street, in Kamergersky and Gazetny lanes.
Light trees will turn the area of \u200b\u200bKuznetsky Most and Rozhdestvenka into a fairy forest. Lanterns hovering in the sky will decorate Zamoskvorechye, and the volumetric figure 2019 will shine near fairs and boulevards, in parks and squares.
If you want the festive events in Moscow for the New Year holidays 2018 to be especially remembered, then you just need to go to Kolomna. This is a unique chance to experience the past, travel back in time and re-examine the history of the state.

A masquerade will be organized at the main Kremlin Christmas tree, where everyone can come in original costumes and the most unexpected images. This spectacular event in Moscow on New Year's Eve will be unambiguously reflected in the press, and supplemented by the obligatory presence of the heroes of the occasion. Chief Santa Claus and Snegurochka will light the lights on the general tree, and after the fireworks, traditional congratulations will sound.
Another idea for where to celebrate the new year 2019 in Moscow is circus performances, some of which will take place right on the streets of the city and delight the busy crowd. New Year's events also include a visit to GUM, where not only holiday sales are announced, but entertainment programs for all visitors.
