The history of Scarlet Sails dates back to 1968 when Leningrad schoolchildren saw a brigantine with scarlet sails on the Neva River for the first time. This moment became the emblem of the celebration, which has since become a tradition for the culmination of school education.
The highlight of Scarlet Sails is the sailing of the ship along the Neva River amidst a bright cascade of fireworks.
