In May, the Central Park of Culture and Rest. SM Kirov will bloom again with all the colors of the rainbow, presenting the city with the spring "Festival of Tulips". Guests will be able to enjoy an amazing spectacle - the largest flower garden, fragrant with hundreds of thousands of colorful tulips. The festive opening of the festival will take place on May 19 and 20, and the flowering season itself will last for several more weeks.

In 2018, the festival will grow to 3 thousand square meters. Gardeners planted 160 thousand tulip bulbs of 130 varieties in the flower beds. Many varieties will be presented at the festival for the first time.

So, this year you can see rare black tulips - the dream of breeders and gardeners. Elegant flowers with black and purple petals will await enthusiastic spectators in the central flowerbed near the Konyushenny building. At the moment, only 15 varieties of black tulips have been bred in the world, in the spring in the Central Park of Culture and Leisure you can see 3 varieties of these beauties.

Also pleasing to the eye of visitors will be parrot tulips - extravagant flowers with spectacular cut, wavy petals. Terry tulips loved by visitors will be presented in 24 varieties, with a varied color palette from pastel shades to rich and vibrant colors.

The theme of this Festival will be ballet. Inspired by the aesthetics of Diaghilev's famous Russian Seasons, which set a new direction in the development of fashion and art, the gardeners of the park, when planning flower beds, tried to convey the motives of the sketches of Bakst, Benoit, Roerich, Golovin, Korovin. Their works, striking with taste, imagination, endless richness of color and grace of lines, created for various ballets, formed the basis of color and graphic solutions for flower beds on Elagin Island.

In addition to flower gardens, guests at the opening will be delighted by the already beloved promenade-concert, gracefully recreating the Modern era with all the iconic details of that time.

The theme of the annual florist competition is also dedicated to ballet and includes the tasks “In the rhythm of life” and “Magic shoes”.
