Talk:White Nights Festival

The largest festival in Russia
The White Nights Festival is by far the largest annual festival anywhere in Russia. The attendance and spectacular events are comparable to openings and closings of some Olympic games, and the "Scarlet Sails" show is greatly enhanced by the beauty of the Neva river. The White Nights festivities has been known since the times of Peter the Great, who introduced the fireworks and outdoor music performances, and the tradition continued during the reign of his daughter, Elizavet Petrovna. The White Nights is the best time of the year, so the festival has a natural connection with the environment. I am surprised that nobody made this article before. Those videos by some Russian kids are nice too. Enjoy. Steveshelokhonov 00:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Merging with item Q86661881
So, I found the Russian language version here, but I don't have any experience with merging pages. Hopefully, somebody will come across this message and be able to do that for me.
