Dear Benjamin,
Thank you for your message. Yes, we celebrate City Day in Saint-Petersburg. There are lots of public concerts, amazing fireworks and dozens of street fairs. My family and I usually go for a walk and watch the fireworks in the evening. Our City Day is held in the end of May, the weather is usually nice and we all enjoy the walk. Last year we even watched the bridges being drawn late at night, it was something incredible, a really great experience.
What was the theme of your photo competition? Did you win any prize? Will you take part in more competitions in the future?
Best wishes,
Kate
