This weekend, July 19–20, 2025, Luzhniki will host a massive VK Fest music festival. The program includes dancing until you drop to your favorite tracks, master classes, quests, and much more. Ostrovok is also participating in this celebration of life and has prepared a branded recreation area. We are revealing all the cards and explaining why you should include VK Fest in your plans for the end of this week.

Where else can you festival this summer. We’ve collected more music events in different cities across Russia.
Recreation area from Ostrovok
Ostrovok will have its own large space where you can get a promo code for hotel bookings, get a transferable tattoo, take photos in a photo booth, and just relax between wild dancing on the sun loungers. You can also jump into a dry ball pool.
How to find an island of tranquility at a noisy festival. The landmark is a light green megashlong. The “Rest starts here” area is located to the right of the main entrance and next to the White Stage. You can set a route in the VK Fest app.
Adult entertainment
Dozens of master classes are waiting for you: magic tricks (look for the “Magic Museum”), creating perfumes, pottery, painting bears in the style of pop art and painting on canvas under the supervision of a professional artist.
If you can’t sit still, explore the sports areas: there’s a chance to compete for prizes in the “Movement Battle” dance competition, try the interactive VR box, and race through the obstacle course with your friends from the “League of Heroes” company.
Unusual entertainment. At the festival, you can visit the “Robot Battle” and choose your own radio-controlled fighter to watch the matches between the leading teams.
Activities for children
Coming to VK Fest with children is a great idea, because they won’t get bored. If your child is active, you can send them to the CTC Kids area, where there will be a huge trampoline, a slide, and a ball pool. Animation studios and TV channels have also prepared their own stands, where you can take photos with Luntik, Cheburashka, and other cartoon characters.
Smart kids will surely enjoy participating in workshops from the Polytechnic Museum, where they can learn about clock mechanisms and create architectural structures.
Food court
No one will go hungry: from 11:00 to 22:30, a food court is open on the festival grounds. The selection ranges from burgers in the form of a flying saucer and Korean street food to St. Petersburg shawarma and Serbian pleska. You can also have a snack with more traditional pancakes from Teremka or healthy salads from Salatnica.
A must-have at a summer festival is ice cream.
Come to VK Fest and be sure to visit the chill zone at Ostrovok, where we have prepared many exciting things. We are looking forward to seeing you. See you soon!
