Rosmolodezh: Federal Youth Day festivals gathered millions of Russians across the country

A large-scale celebration of Youth Day 2024 is taking place in 38 Russian cities today. Federal festivals organized across the country have already gathered more than 2.5 million people as of 19:00 (Moscow time), eager for bright impressions, fun and new acquaintances.

The festive venues turned into real centres of attraction: concerts of favorite artists, sports competitions, masterclasses, interactive zones and much more. The atmosphere of the holiday reigned in the streets of the cities, attracting people of all ages and interests, because the main youth holiday was held under the motto "Uniting Russia!".

Festival participants in the regions were most interested in the tracks "Together with Creativity", "Together with Career" and "Together with Goodness", which include many different formats: masterclasses, career counseling, recording podcasts, various quizzes, trivia and educational meetings with experts.

For example, in the "Together with Career" track, the lecture "Behind the Scenes of Sports: How to Build a Career in the World of Champions" was given by Alina Zagitova, Olympic champion and holder of all figure skating titles. Among entrepreneurs and those who want to start their own business, useful discussions were popular, such as "How to Create a Profitable Business. Successful Cases of Tatarstan" and other events.

The festivals also featured thematic expositions dedicated to the achievements of young Russians in various fields, meetings with Heroes of the SMO, the Market of the Young, the Open Microphone, various masterclasses and workshops where everyone could try their hand at a new business. It is not the first time that the Market of the Young has become a platform for young entrepreneurs on Youth Day. This year young entrepreneurs earned more than 10 million rubles, demonstrating the high interest of buyers in small business. Such events promote entrepreneurial spirit among young people and support diversity in the country's economy.

And the Open Microphone, where everyone can demonstrate their talents in music, poetry, dance and other areas, received hundreds of applications from talented young people from all over Russia.

In addition to the main program, the organizers prepared various activities for the guests. For example, visitors of VDNH took part in a dance flash mob "Moscow — the Youth Capital of Russia", saw a mass race on cycling bicycles, and also took part in various thematic quizzes.

In Vladivostok the guests were welcomed by a whole gastro street, the final of the Russian Esports Championship was held there, immersive excursions and intellectual games were organized for everyone. In addition, the city held the largest mass quiz to set a new record for the Russian Book of Records.

Other cities also hosted numerous creative youth performances, blogger workshops, sports competitions, a DJ set, a street culture festival and much more.

For the first time in the history of Youth Day, couples from all over the country had the opportunity to officially register their marriage in a solemn atmosphere right on the festive grounds. This unusual step became a symbol of the Year of Family, strong family values, unity and continuity of generations. Throughout Russia, 70 young couples said their cherished "yes" to each other: in Moscow, Kazan, Vladivostok and other cities.

The main youth day is held under the motto "Uniting Russia!". The themes of the holiday are the Year of the Family and Unification as the key meaning. Two Youth Capitals of Russia — 2024: Moscow and Vladivostok are the main points of celebration of the Youth Day.

Russia is a country of unique wide opportunities for young people. Youth Day is a holiday dedicated to the future of the country. New opportunities for young people in education, professional and family self-realization are being created in Russia, which are supported by the President. Platforms for self-realization of young people, created by Vladimir Putin, attract many active young people across the country. Young people are responding to the challenges the country faces, and the state is helping them to realize their aspirations for the good of Russia.

The vast majority of Russian servicemen are young people who risk their lives to defend our country. They are the pride and support of the Motherland. The President is providing young heroes with new opportunities for further self-realization. Free education and the "Time of Heroes" personnel project will give fighters the opportunity to gain new knowledge and serve the country in a new capacity or a new position.
