Russian Festival Maslenitsa

London’s Maslenitsa Festival has become the most prominent presentation of Russian culture outside Russia. An unmissable fixture for the UK’s expanding Russian-speaking community and for everyone interested in Russian culture, Maslenita is one of the most exciting occasions in London’s events diary. Every festival is attended by over 100,000 visitors. It exemplifies the best of contemporary Russia – vibrant and positive, with cultural attractions to delight people of all tastes and ages.

The Festival has taken place to great acclaim for the last 6 years, with generous support from the Mayor of London. We propose to make Maslenitsa 2016 – at a time when cultural diplomacy has never been more vital – a platform to unite the Russian people with Londoners and visitors from every nation.
