The most interesting fairs of the 2019-2020 season

On the eve of the New Year holidays, several hundred New Year's fairs will open in Moscow - last season there were about 70 of them. It is interesting that recently the fairs have changed their format, turning from a trading event into an entertainment event.

Almost every exhibition is accompanied by a colorful show program involving singers, dancers, figure skaters and ballet actors. Those interested can go on rides, take a sleigh ride, take part in a variety of master classes, and watch dance battles. And also - taste dishes of national cuisines, drink warming or strong drinks.
