Fountain Closing Festival in Peterhof

From 6600 ₽

The autumn Fountain Closing Festival in Peterhof is not just turning off the water jets for the winter, but a grand festival that annually gathers tens of thousands of guests.

In 2026, the event will be held under the title “Happiness” and will be dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Alexandria — the place where four generations of the imperial family grew up.

Throughout the day, the Lower Park turns into an immersive space: themed installations are placed across the entire territory from the Marly Palace to the Monplaisir Alley, and a brass band and a dance floor are operating. With the help of light, sound and visual images, guests will be able to recall childhood, dreams and the experiences associated with them.

The culmination of the festival is a multimedia performance with fireworks at the Grand Cascade against the backdrop of the evening Grand Palace. The show starts at 20:30 and lasts about 30 minutes. The audience will enjoy music, light special effects, performances by artists and grand fireworks.

IMPORTANT for tourists

Dress warmly and for the weather. Late September in Peterhof is already real autumn: daytime temperatures can be +10…+12 °C, and by evening they drop to +5 °C and below. You will spend at least an hour outdoors at the Grand Cascade — it is very easy to get cold.

Be sure to take a raincoat or an umbrella. Autumn in Peterhof is unpredictable: rain can start at any moment, and an umbrella will be inconvenient at the cascade — a raincoat is better.

Footwear — only comfortable and waterproof. You will have to walk a lot around the park (gravel paths, possible dampness and mud). Heels, thin soles and white shoes are a bad idea.

A hat won't hurt. In the evening it is windy and cool by the water.

What to take with you

A portable power bank — your phone will be actively used for photos and videos, and there are no power outlets in the park.
Cash — card payment may not work everywhere, especially at kiosks and stalls.
Water and a snack — queues at cafes are long on the day of the celebration, and the program is packed.
