JUBILEE of St. Petersburg (City Day) is an annual celebration in honour of the foundation of St. Petersburg. Since 1983, it has taken place on the final weekend of May. It includes a broad variety of festivities (concerts, processions, etc.), organised mainly in Palace Square, the spit of Vasilievsky Ostrov and Nevsky Prospect. A festival for the military orchestra and a viewing of the Cadet School also takes place. The fountains at Peter's Palace (Peterhof) are also turned back on after the winter.

G. V. Kalashnikov.
