We invite you to one of the brightest events of spring — the celebration of the opening of the fountains in Peterhof 2026

The grand opening of the fountains in Peterhof marks the beginning of the season and annually gathers thousands of guests from around the world.

The Fountain Festival in Peterhof in 2026 will take place on May 16. The fountains in Peterhof are turned on as early as April 25.

After a long winter, Peterhof seems to come alive: the fountains of Peterhof in St. Petersburg are launched, and the famous imperial residence opens up to visitors in all its baroque splendor.

Fountain Festival Program

Start your day with a trip to Peterhof from the center of St. Petersburg.

Next, the main event awaits you — the grand opening of the fountains in Peterhof. A theatrical performance takes place at the Grand Cascade, and at the moment the fountains are launched, hundreds of water jets come to life simultaneously. The climax is the Samson fountain, soaring upward to the sound of a cannon salute.

You will enjoy a walk through the Lower Park with a guide. You will learn how the fountains of Peterhof work without pumps, see the trick fountains, and enjoy the beautiful views of Peterhof Park.
