During the day Nevsky Pr. is closed to traffic and citizens will take to the street en maze, clad in costumes, wigs or silly hats, clutching balloons, ice-creams or adult beverages as they march towards Palace square for free concerts, the Admiralty lawn for games, and the embankments to 'ooh' and 'aah' over the fireworks. |
