Bridges and embankments
The ship with scarlet sails and the light show can be viewed from five embankments of St. Petersburg - Mytninskaya, English, Universitetskaya, Petrovskaya and Kutuzov embankment. These embankments are accessible to everyone - tickets for Scarlet Sails are not needed.
You can also view the light show and fireworks from the Blagoveshchensky, Birzhevoy and Liteyny bridges. With invitation cards, graduates will be able to go to Palace Square and Palace Embankment.

The brig "Russia" will sail from Troitsky to Blagoveshchensky Bridge. Light show and fireworks will begin on June 24 at 00:40.
There has not yet been any official information from Mostotrest about changes to the bridge raising schedule. To the question “ Papers» about which bridges will be raised during the “Scarlet Sails”, the department responded that, based on the experience of past years, it will most likely be Troitsky.
Restaurants by the water and boats
You can also watch the light show and the ship in restaurants on the embankments. For example, in the panoramic establishment “Bering” on Pirogovskaya embankment. The windows overlook the Neva waters and the Trinity Bridge, there are tables nearby. On the night of June 24, the establishment will be open until 2:00. The average bill without drinks is 1100 rubles.
Another option is a restaurant on the Flying Dutchman ship, moored next to the Birzhevoy Bridge. At the table by the window you will be able to see Winter Palace and the waters of the Neva. The restaurant will be open all night. You can reserve a table with a deposit of 10 thousand rubles. The average bill is 2800 rubles without drinks.
You can view the festive fireworks from ships. Excursions around the Neva water area are organized by various travel companies, for example NevaTrip and ASTRA MARINE. The cost of a ticket per person is more than 5,000 rubles. The NevaTrip ship will depart from the English Embankment at 23:30, and the restaurant on the ASTRA MARINE ship will depart from the Arsenalnaya Embankment at 23:00.
Restaurant roofs
The festive fireworks will be visible not only from the embankments, but also from the rooftops. For example, in the wine bar “Sky and Wine” on Pirogov Lane. From the roof of the establishment there is a view of St. Isaac's Cathedral. The average bill is 1000 rubles.
Another establishment with a roof is the Italian restaurant “Makaronniki” on Dobrolyubova Avenue. The average bill at the establishment is 1,700 rubles.
You can also go to the Ginza Project restaurant “Mansarda”. From the tables on the roof you will be able to see St. Isaac's Cathedral and the festive fireworks. The average bill is 3500 rubles.
Broadcasts
Channel Five will broadcast live from Scarlet Sails. In addition, it will be possible to watch online in the community “
For most of those who want to attend the Scarlet Sails festival, the phrase “entry is strictly for graduates, by invitation” sounds like “it will be a little difficult, but you can get a ticket.”
One of the reasons why non-graduates are so eager to get there is the autonomy of the main summer holiday. The second reason is, of course, the grandeur of the water performance and the concert of favorite artists on Palace Square.
It should be noted that entry to ordinary spectators is closed only to Palace Square itself; no one is forbidden to listen to music and watch shows from the adjacent territories. But the forbidden fruit is sweet, and no one has canceled economic theory. So, Life offers eight ways to spend the night of June 25-26 among a crowd of graduates.
1. View from the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island
The simplest and, importantly, affordable way- enjoy the water performance from the spit of Vasilyevsky Island (or from the nearest embankments). Perhaps girls should give up high-heeled shoes, because best places will go to those who arrive early. And your loved one won’t give you a lift - some sections of roads and bridges in the city center will be blocked during the holiday.
2. Climb onto the roofs of neighboring houses
By default, this method is available to residents of houses adjacent to Palace Square. If you are not one of them, there is nothing left to do but turn to roofers (roof climbers) who will help guide you there as a friend or as part of an excursion group.
The cost of tickets for such “excursions” on the eve of “Scarlet Sails” starts on average from 1.5 thousand rubles per person. It is worth noting that this method is far from safe: as in previous years, the police promise to check all the roofs and attics of the Central and Petrogradsky districts of St. Petersburg and prevent people from watching the fireworks from there. Otherwise, those walking on the roofs will disturb the peaceful sleep of the residents of the upper floors.
3. Buy a boat excursion
Perhaps the most popular method among tourists, despite its high cost. Walking on ships at night under open bridges is incredibly romantic, and on the Scarlet Sails holiday, when the waters of the Neva are illuminated by fireworks and a stunning light and pyrotechnic show begins around, it’s simply “space”.
The price range varies - it all depends on the class of the vessel and the program on board. On average from 2.5 thousand rubles per person. Tickets for boat trips sell out quickly, so it's worth worrying about this in advance. The same goes for binoculars, since not a single ship will be able to get close to the brigantine.
4. Buy an invitation card
One of the most common and unsafe methods. Alumni's plans for this night often do not coincide with the holiday program, so young people with a light hand and a pure heart put their tickets up for sale. According to offers on Avito, you can get the coveted ticket in exchange for 1-1.5 thousand rubles.
Unfortunately, on the website you will not find information about the integrity of the seller, which means that when buying such a ticket, you can easily encounter scammers. Please note that 2016 tickets, in addition to other levels of security, are equipped with special perforation.
5. Rent an apartment nearby
If you are smart and save a little, you can ensure yourself quite comfortable leisure time and a chic look. Apartments with a view of the epicenter of events will cost an average of 4.5 thousand rubles per day.
6. Sign up to volunteer
The work of volunteers at “Scarlet Sails” cannot even be called work. The functions of young people include:
a) act as concert spectators in the fan zone on Palace Square; b) be a spectator on the spit of Vasilyevsky Island; c) check tickets before the concert (after checking the tickets, these volunteers will be able to choose one of the two venues indicated above); d) participate in a mise-en-scène with a famous musician on the embankment during a television broadcast.
There are also disadvantages: there is an age limit for volunteers - from 16 to 25 years. 7. Enter from the “back door”
Regulars of the Scarlet Sails festival say that they have more than once made their way into the closed area through fences in the courtyards adjacent to the arch of the General Staff Building. Unsafe, but exciting.
8. Cry in front of security
On the night of June 23-24, 2018 northern capital Russian Federation The alumni evening “Scarlet Sails” will take place. The event, according to a long-standing tradition, is held during the White Nights and is timed to coincide with the holiday of the last bell. The Scarlet Sails program is one of the most colorful and vibrant events in all of Russia.
