The highly anticipated anniversary holiday of "Scarlet Sails - 2023" took place on the night of June 24-25 at Palace Square in St. Petersburg, Russia. The event, which coincided with the year of the teacher and mentor in Russia, was meticulously planned by a dedicated team of 10 thousand individuals over several months.
