Maslenitsa Russian Festival London

Welcome the approaching spring and fill up on blinis before Lent at the Maslenitsa Russian festival. London families and music fans can party in true Russian style at the free event, which takes place at Trafalgar Square.

Traditional celebration
An age old festival in Russia that celebrates the start of spring before Lent, the Maslenitsa Russian festival London event gives you the chance to sample the culture, music and food of Russia without having to board a plane to Moscow. There'll be a mixture of traditional folk and contemporary music at the event, as well as theatre, food stalls and more.

Live music
Last year, music at the Maslenitsa Russian festival London came courtesy of rock group Moral Codex, as well as folk group Namgar and opera sensation Kvatro. Other musical acts appearing on stage last year included folk techno outfit Bayan Mix and jazz folk musician Matrekha. Click back soon for further information on the 2012 lineup.
