Festival of the Movement of the First

About the event

From May 30 to June 1, 2026, the V International Festival of Childhood and Youth “Festival of the First Movement” was held at VDNH in Moscow — one of the largest events for children and young people, dedicated to International Children’s Day.

 The festival was held under the motto “The Power of Unity. The Energy of Childhood. Time for Discoveries” and brought together more than 2,000 participants from regions of Russia, as well as guests from foreign countries.

Over the course of three days, guests were treated to a rich program: educational meetings, sports activities, concerts, creative performances, and interactive zones.

 The Russian Olympic Committee took part in the festival, presenting its own themed zone. Here, guests could take memorable photos and get to know the Olympic movement’s mascot — the Olympic Bear — better.
