The DreamFest water lantern festival will be held in St. Petersburg from May 5 to May 7, according to the event page on Vkontakte.

The program includes rock hits performed by a symphony orchestra, art objects and installations, the best fiery and pyrotechnic groups of St. Petersburg, accompanied by a laser show and thousands of lanterns with wishes.

"For three evenings, residents and guests of the Northern Capital will be able to make their cherished wishes by floating water lanterns along the pond of the Yusupov Garden," the organizers noted.

In addition, the guests of the festival will have an ancient tradition of wish fulfillment with the help of ribbons.

The “Island of Desires” is reserved for this sacrament: take a ribbon at the entrance, tie it on a special prism to the sounds of a harp and, surrounded by beautiful fairies, make your innermost desire,” the organizers suggest.

For hungry guests there will be a food court alley.
