JOUR DE LA MARINE

Established in 1696 by Tsar Peter the Great, this festival is a celebration of Russia's maritime military power. Parades and festive demonstrations are organized on all the seas where the fleet of the last empire is present under the sun. From St. Petersburg to Vladivostok, from the Baltic to the Sea of Japan. In Piter, the military fleet parades on the Neva River and sails to the Admiralty while the shores freeze over. If you like the uniform, this is your day!
