The show does not last very long - twenty one minutes. However, during this time the St. Petersburg sky will be illuminated by fifty thousand volleys. We can say that the heavens will literally bloom with fiery flowers.
More than two hundred people are working on the program to delight the eye. During the pyrotechnic show, an orchestra will play over the water area of the Neva. Every year different melodies are selected for “Scarlet Sails”.
At the end of the program, the Secret ship will appear - a ship with scarlet sails. It will pass along the river bank accompanied by musical accompaniment.

Everyone can be free of charge on the embankment and the Spit of Vasilievsky Island. The only chance to get to the Palace Square for guests and residents of St. Petersburg is to buy tickets there from hand on the day of the holiday.
"Scarlet Sails" is a visiting card of St. Petersburg. Every year, a fabulous show is held for school graduates, when the Palace, Troitsky Bridge, Palace Bridge, the bank of the Peter and Paul Fortress are decorated with thousands of multi-colored lamps, torches on the Rostral columns light up, and the sounds of your favorite tunes spread over the Neva. And a fabulous brig with Scarlet sails appears. Tears welling up in my eyes, something turns over in my soul, and you remember your childhood unfulfilled dreams ... A delightful sight does not leave anyone indifferent.
In 2016, the stage on Palace Square was a huge glowing bridge symbolizing the transition from the past to the future, from childhood to adulthood.
Famous artists and musicians congratulated the graduates. The host of the show is Ivan Urgant.
On the day of the holiday, it is almost impossible to get to the embankment and look at the brig with the Scarlet Sails.
Guests of St. Petersburg often ask themselves the question: "Where is the best way to see Scarlet Sails." If you are staying at a hotel, you can talk to the administration about buying an invitation card for the "Scarlet Sails" holiday. You can buy it from hands or on the Internet, but here you need to beware of numerous fakes. It is advisable to arrive with an invitation card in advance and take a seat closer.
There is a free option for those who do not like crowds of a huge number of people and do not want to take up space in a few hours. A rehearsal is held the day before the performance, and you can watch the sailing ship's dressage twice, usually at 10:30 pm and 11:30 pm.
Go to the cafes located on the pontoons near the coast and get a wonderful overview of everything that happens!
If on the day of the "Scarlet Sails" holiday you walk along Nevsky Prospekt in the hope of seeing a show on the embankment, then the following picture awaits you near the Moika:
You can, of course, listen to the concert while standing not far from Palace Square, but the view is depressing ...
Walking along the entire Moika River, thousands of people gather on the Champ de Mars to watch the tops of the masts moving between buildings for 5 seconds.
