This year, forecasters predict an unusually warm Indian summer, which will last until early October. Therefore, you should not sit at home, but it's time to go for a walk and enjoy the last warm days of this year. Especially for you, we have prepared an overview of the most interesting events of the coming autumn.

Kite festival

When: 1- September 2, 2018

Where: Tsaritsyno park

For the first time, Moscow hosted the first kite festival back in 2003. Over the past 15 years, the festival has gained so many fans that it has become too little to hold it once a year. Therefore, this year the event takes place in two stages, and if you did not have time to visit it in May, then there is an excellent opportunity to see everything with your own eyes in September.

As always, mythical creatures and foreign flags will rise into the sky over Tsaritsyno. A giant kite with a length of thirty meters should conquer the imagination of visitors, the organizers claim that this is the largest in Russia.

If you are still a beginner and find yourself at the festival without a kite, then do not live, in the workshops-studios you will quickly be taught how to make your own kite and help to launch it into the sky.

BBQ Festival

When: 7- September 9, 2018

Where: Flacon Design Plant

If summer has passed and you still haven't had time to go for a picnic, then this is the place for you. Guests of the festival will enjoy a variety of barbecues from the best chefs in the world, who flew to Moscow to compete in the gastronomic championship and share their secrets.

Those who still think that only meat and fish dishes can be cooked on charcoal will be shocked not only by the abundance of vegetarian treats, but also by the variations of various desserts.
