A meeting of an authoritative commission headed by Vice-Governor Konstantin Patraev was held. She chose the winner of the regional competition “New Year’s capital of the Leningrad region 2027-2028”.
5 municipalities fought for the status title. Each presented their concept of holiday, New Year’s decoration and thematic locations, drawing on the history, traditions and tourist attractions of their settlements.
The jury chose between the cities of Vyborg, Tikhvin, Otradnoye, Novoselje and Petrovsky settlement.
The concept of Tikhvin put at the forefront of culture, spirituality and Russian style. In the homeland of the composer Rimsky-Korsakov proposed to create a “principality of Guidon”. And also a icicle defile. And all New Year’s locations should be connected by a single theme.
In the concept of the Jury was struck by a fabulous video presentation made with the help of artificial intelligence. This town, although small, is ready to provide several locations for the holiday.
In Newwarming are ready to welcome guests with a street program with a New Year's hut, skating rink and other New Year's entertainment.
In the Petrovsky settlement of the Priozersky district, they decided to make a bet on New Year’s effects – light, game. There have also recently appeared landscaped public spaces that could become venues for festivities.
And in Vyborg almost everything is ready. Started to install Christmas trees, lit a light pretzel. And the new sites on the famous Battery Mountain receive visitors.
As a result, Tikhvin scored the most expert points. It will become the first in the history of the Leningrad region New Year's capital. The courage and readiness of the residents of the Petrovsky settlement to participate in the competition and compete with the district centers of the 47th region was emphasized.
It remains to be added that the capital-New Year status gives the right to receive additional resources. They should be aimed at holding New Year celebrations, additional attraction of tourist flows, as well as public recognition.
This contest is scheduled to be held annually. Other municipalities have the opportunity to compete for the title of capital of the most beloved holiday in 2028 and beyond.
Earlier, “MK in Leningrad region” said that Leningrad schoolchildren can congratulate Santa Claus and go to Veliky Ustyug.
