How the "Christmas Fiesta" Unfolded in Nizhny Novgorod: A Photo Report
06 January 2026 19:20 Culture and Leisure
In Nizhny Novgorod on 6 January the winter ballooning festival "Christmas Fiesta" (0+) took place.
Recall that earlier all planned festival events had been canceled due to bad weather.
The event took place on the site between Meshcherskoye Lake and the Metro hypermarket. Tethered balloon ascents were organized there.
Four hot-air balloons rose into the sky. Three of them lifted city residents into the air free of charge, and the fourth balloon, shaped like a heart and featuring Father Frost and a team of reindeer, served as a photo zone for anyone who wished.
