Every day, for eight months, the RUSSIA EXPO delighted guests and gave unforgettable emotions. Visitors went to concerts and witnessed sports records, listened to lectures from world-class experts and learned new things at masterclasses, participated in large-scale processions and festivals.

One of the main objectives of the Exposition is education and enlightenment. From the first to the final day there were lectures, educational games, excursions and masterclasses. The guests learned to sew, knit, draw, mastered unusual musical instruments and financial literacy, upgraded their professional skills and practiced logic in intellectual games. They listened to lectures by politicians, journalists, scientists, met with writers and artists, film critics and historians.

At the same time, the Exposition was always generous with bright emotions and large-scale events. The Parade of Ded Moroz, traditional Maslenitsa festivities with the performance of street artists and treats, as well as the May Day procession under the slogan "May! Labor is Cool!". The summer season with its festival "Future in Flowers", gastronomic festivals in the House of Russian Cuisine, and parades became no less bright.

What particularly stood out for the guests was the theatrical parade by the Moscow Historical Festival "Times and Epochs": its participants reenacted the Soviet sports parade, as well as the fun race "Bright People," where fairy-tale characters and historical figures lined up at the start.
