Moscow Events Moscow events have shaken off their 'joyous workers' march' image and are now shaking booty with the best of them. The main Moscow events are New Year's Day (1 January), Russian Orthodox Christmas Day (7 January), International Women's Day (8 March), International Labour Day/Spring festival (1 and 2 May), Victory (1945) Day (9 May), Russian Independence Day (12 June), Day of Reconciliation and Accord (7 November). A great many Moscow events are derived from Orthodox church tradition. Orthodox Christmas begins with midnight mass on 7 January. Orthodox Easter, known as Paskha , falls some time in March or April - it begins with a midnight church service, after which people eat special dome-shape cakes and curd cakes and swap painted eggs. In odd-numbered years, the Moscow Film Festival hits the city's screens in autumn. The Russian Winter Festival is pretty much one of Moscow events for tourists, with 'troyka' rides, folklore shows, games and vodka, and is celebrated between 25 December and 5 January. Sylvestr is the Russian New Year celebration, and is the main gift-giving festival of the year, with presents placed under the traditional fir tree. Muscovites see out the old year with vodka and welcome the new one with champagne. Public Holidays
