On August 18 and 19, the brightest summer event, the Rostec International Fireworks Festival, will take place in Brateevsky Cascade Park in Moscow.
In addition to pyrotechnic shows from leading experts from Austria, Andorra, Bulgaria, Italy, Great Britain, Greece, Slovakia and the USA, festival guests will enjoy a rich daily program and a competition that inspires good deeds.
During the days of the festival, from 18.30 to 20.30, musicians whose names have been kept secret for so long will perform on the main stage.
On August 18, the headliners of the concert program will be the Dances Minus and Chizh & Co groups with their favorite hits of several generations.
On the second day of the festival, the guests will be treated to a performance by the Zveri group, which will perform the best works from various albums.
In the Year of the Volunteer in Russia, the Rostec Fireworks Festival will become a territory of good deeds and part of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to charitable foundations.
Volunteer programs and charity events will also be held in the park during the days of the event. This year, among the partners of the Festival are the foundations “Line of Life”, “Old Age in Joy”, “Penetrating the Heart” and the Konstantin Khabensky Foundation.
In order to unite people and increase the number of good deeds, the organizers of the festival, together with the Moscow School of Communications MACS, are announcing a contest of ideas. Participants of the competition need to create a concept of a viral action, video or flash mob that will attract users of social networks and inspire them to support the action, to do a good deed - to help one of the Festival's partner charitable foundations. Applications are accepted until July 15. The idea of the winner will be implemented by the organizers, and as a prize, the lucky winner will have the opportunity to undergo a year of training with leading practitioners in the field of Digital Communications at the MACS School.
Traditionally, festival guests will enjoy a rich daily program: sports and creative entertainment, games and master classes for the whole family. The park will be open to guests from 14.00. After the headliners, at 21:00, an unforgettable pyrotechnic show will begin. The teams will present programs consisting of two parts: a visiting card of the participant - fireworks in the colors of the national flag to music with national flavor - and a free program on the theme of goodness and magic. The technical details of the performances will be monitored by a competent international-class jury.
This is the fourth time the event has been held with the support of the Moscow Government. Last year, more than 700,000 viewers watched the show over two days. Entrance to the festival for children up to 7 years old is free (accompanied by adults with tickets).
Most questions arise about the fireworks festival, which was held here for the third time.
And the most frequent questions: is it worth going to the festival and is it possible to see this beauty not from the park, but from somewhere nearby, that is, for free?
The questions, of course, are interesting, but my answers are not very unambiguous.
Of course, the spectacle is very beautiful, expensive and memorable. Therefore, most likely, I will answer: yes, this fireworks show is worth watching, especially when you live not very far away and you don’t have to drag yourself for three hours from the other end of Moscow or the region, and then push through the crowd and bypass the National Guard cordons. I mean that people (especially with kids) get very tired.
But I would advise you to buy a ticket to the park if:
1. There is an opportunity and means to get into the VIP zone in the stands. It is here that you can fully enjoy the beauty of the show and see not only the upper, but also the lower fireworks, lasers, fountains, and the reflection of these wonders in the water, and the sound design for the action.
2. But the holders of "Standard" tickets will have to look for seats.
However, I would recommend visitors to come early. Firstly, to be present at various festival activities (especially with children) and take pictures calmly without a crowd against the background of thematic festival objects (this year the theme of the show was "Magic and Goodness", and art objects - fabulous animals). Secondly, in order not to miss the concert of the declared group.
Thirdly, in order to spot and stake out more convenient places: subjectively, there are more people every year, trees and shrubs are getting higher and more magnificent, therefore, the view from some places is worse. Just keep in mind that you should take some food with you (you can’t stock up - they won’t let you in), because everything is expensive at the festival.
If you are driving from a distance directly to the fireworks scheduled for 9 pm, you should not expect that you will pass the control in seconds (there will be many such latecomers). Also, don't think that in a "nowhere to fall" state, the ranks of people will open up and provide you with the best red carpet "viewing" place. This will not happen - and you should not complain about the poor organization and regret the time and money spent!
Then, indeed, it is better to look for places outside the park.
Here it must be taken into account that every year the security agencies mark out the "dead" zone in different ways. For example, in 2018 it was not as big as in the past, 2017, and people behind the fences could well find a good view to see upper fireworks.
You can enjoy the "lower" beauties if you make acquaintances with local natives living on the top floors of houses overlooking the festival's water area. Ask to visit them or at least to the stairwell - and the freeloader will be pleased)
Many expect to watch the show from the Brateevsky Bridge - if not directly, not with a holistic, symmetrical picture, but as if in a "profile", from the side. Do not even hope! During the show, pedestrians are chased off the bridge (and this year there are also repairs going on). So people outside the park had to look for convenient viewing points, for example, along Borisovskie Prudy Street.
Again, not everywhere the view was good, they were looking for where at least small bald spots were observed in green spaces.
Do not judge strictly by the quality of the photo, it is nothing, but only professional video shooting can convey the beauty of fireworks (you will find many reports and videos on the net), but I have the goal of showing how much of the fireworks can be seen outside Brateevsky Park.
This shot was taken on the second day of the festival from Borisovskie Prudy Street near the stop "Vodnomotorny club" from the side of the houses. As you can see, the left fireworks are hiding behind the tops of the trees.
The next frame is from the nearest stop to the bridge. Here the crown of trees is not so dense. The review is better, although more from the side.
Then I went around the fences and crossed the street to the side of the park to the same stop. You can see much better in the bald patches of trees because of the cordon mesh, and I liked this point the most. Music is almost inaudible anywhere - so, some fragments of melodies are heard.
Time to experiment and find a more comfortable place was in between the performances of the teams.
And so you can see from the window of the landing of the house already behind the Brateevsky bridge, that is, completely on the side.
Beautiful, of course. But, comrades, it's still better from the park - I recommend, "everyone to the park")
And one more thing: I read a lot of abusive reviews about the festival. Of course, everyone has their own opinion - from their own experience. But I definitely want to answer: in order not to complain about a mediocre organization, be sure to visit the official websites before the event, there is a lot of necessary information; do not be late, come early and keep in mind that this is the largest mass event, where the main thing is the safety of people, hence the many restrictions. And this must be understood!
Well, this is the last post from the events of the summer! The next one will be in September.
I went to the festival last year and I really liked it! And in this I decided to go look at almost an hour and a half of fireworks! This is not a five-minute puff puff on some holiday.
It is also interesting that these are competitive performances. A completely different style of fireworks is obtained. It's amazing how you can make such a different representation out of seemingly identical explosions!
The music also contributes accordingly.
We arrived in advance, entered without a queue, huddled on the paths of the park (the lawns were somehow selectively fenced), stood for 10 minutes in line for the toilet, which for some reason was not very convenient, they were all concentrated in one place (I did not see others) , it was possible to spread it all into 2-3 points, so that people would not run first in one direction along the narrow paths to the toilet, and then in the other - from them.
Last time, I somehow didn’t get confused by buying food here (and it’s good), but now we decided to have a bite. So, this is absolutely not worth doing. You should definitely take a couple of sandwiches with you and that's it. Time will be saved in the queue - the area with cafes was organized as ineptly as possible, money and health were saved, because you can eat expensively and very tasteless and disgusting.
We caught a piece of the concert on the stage, but we were not interested, although there were a lot of people in front of the stage, we went to look for a good place to watch.
I'm thinking, maybe I can take a ticket to the podium next year? I don’t understand how much you need to come in order to take that very place on the lawn, from where you can see everything. 
We smuggled mini flasks with white cold vino to get us in the mood. 
And they settled down in anticipation of the start on the stole and grass. Without a scarf, it became very cold and wet quickly, so take something under your ass with you. People come with blankets and thermoses, chairs, foams, poufs and bivans.
We took a place behind the bushes so that no one was standing at least a meter in front of us. 
And it turned out to be quite excellent. Everything that happened below, near the water itself, was not visible, but everything that was in the sky - please. 
In total, the festival goes on for 2 days - Saturday and Sunday. And these two days are 8 different teams. 4 on one day and 4 on the next.
We were on the day of the performances of teams - Austria, Armenia, Romania, Japan.
On this day, we liked Romania the most from the speakers, they lit it very cool.
We and the musical accompaniment was wonderful to hear. Therefore, we admired and enjoyed to the fullest. 
Beauty! 
On Sunday teams from Brazil, China, Russia and Croatia performed. 
In the end, the Russian team won.
Second place - Croatia.
Third place - Romania (no wonder we liked them so much!)
And the audience award is China.
I watched the performances of the Sunday teams then on YouTube. I liked Croatia the most, but it's strange that the whole performance they had was mostly "below", near the water, and the sky was black most of the time, hmm.
Russia is also very good and China is so original, with its beautiful music. In general, a worthwhile spectacle, whatever you say. 
It's a pity you can't run into both days. All the same, this is a whole quest, first come to Brateevo, then get out of it) 
Of course, I could not resist and recorded a couple of videos
