St.Petersburg is a year-round attraction. In 
Winter you can go skating or ice-fishing, take a 
ride on Finnish sled, and ski. End of Winter is 
marked by special festivities: riding in horse-
drawn sled ("troika"), snow-ball fights and the 
traditional "blini" (pancakes) are served.
In the Spring the open-air stadiums start their 
soccer season. Rowing, yachting and cycling 
are the favorite spring sports.
In Summer the White Nights Music and  Arts 
Festival runs from the end of June. You can 
spend a white night on a ship sailing out into 
the Gulf of Finland. There are fireworks at 
Petrodvorets, "the town of fountains".
Autumn brings "red leaves" season to beautiful 
parks of St.Petersburg suburbs. But the 
Autumn is mostly rainy and cold. The theaters 
and concert halls are crowded.
