Although it gained the statues of town later, this year is commonly believed as
Petrozavodsk ’s
foundation. The Birthday is widely celebrated. The historical center of the
city becomes a pedestrian area. Lots of stages are built in every town
neighborhood. Lots of concerts and performances are held. The celebration ends
up with impressive fireworks on the Onego
Lake embarkment.
White nights period – every June
Belye Nochi (as it is called in Russia )
is the incredible northern midsummer phenomenon, when the sky remains light
during the whole night. White Nights in Karelia are longer and brighter than in
St. Petersburg .
During this period the sun does not descend below the horizon enough for the
sky to grow dark. Nights become light that the authorities never need to turn
the city's streetlights on! You can enjoy walking with your friend all nights
long.
