Step into the Future: Forum Moscow 2030

Cultural City at Zaryadye

Zaryadye transforms into Cultural City — a festival space where music, theatre, fashion, and technology come together. The programme features classical concerts, DJ sets, immersive performances, digital art, and futuristic fashion shows. From 1 to 10 August, the open-air amphitheatre hosts evening events spotlighting legendary Russian composers — Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov — reimagined through multimedia shows, symphonic jazz, and experimental formats. Highlights include a Rachmaninoff-inspired symphonic journey, a bold reinterpretation of Tchaikovsky with electronic textures, and a jazz-infused tribute to Russia’s classical heritage. Visitors can also explore a smart-living zone with robots, VR activities, and an AI-powered painting machine. A special archaeology display showcases newly discovered artefacts found in Moscow in recent years — many shown for the first time.

Address: Varvarka Street, 6с1

Manege: Discover the City of the Future

The Manege hosts That Very Moscow — a large interactive exhibition for all ages, exploring how the city is growing smarter, greener, and more people-centred. Through hands-on displays and themed zones, visitors can dive into Moscow’s transport systems, urban planning, metro innovations, high-tech industry, and more — all designed to show why it’s one of the most liveable cities in the world.

Address: Mokhovaya Street, 18

Gostiny Dvor: Technology, the City, and the Human Mind

This futuristic exhibition space brings together science, culture, and urban life — all centred around one idea: the continuous evolution of the human being. Through interactive displays and immersive environments, guests can explore how health, love, knowledge, and technology shape us — inside and out. The highlight is the Neural Forest, a glowing installation that lets you walk through a stylised model of the human brain. It’s a chance to feel what it’s like inside your own neural network — a web of connections so vast, its total length would wrap around the Earth four times.

Address: Ilyinka Street, 4

Luzhniki: A Garden of Urban Wonders

At Luzhniki, one of Moscow’s most iconic sports complexes, art and city life bloom side by side. The festival grounds are home to striking installations like Flowers of Moscow — giant glowing petunias that light up at night — and a large-scale aquarium showing how modern city ponds work, complete with real koi and aquatic plants. A replica of the historic Golden Ear fountain adds a nostalgic touch, while the Horseshoe pavilion hosts AI-generated paintings inspired by Russian masters, film screenings, and a weekend amphitheatre.

But Luzhniki is still all about movement. Just a few steps away, open-air zones invite visitors to try futuristic workouts — from phygital sports to paddle tennis — no registration required.
