The watermelon is a symbol and pride of the Astrachanans, known for its sweetness and affection, which makes it a favorite treat for both locals and guests of the city every September the city celebrates Watermelon Day. At the festival, visitors can enjoy the tasting of various watermelon varieties, attend theme halls and participate in fascinating competitions. This is a place where you can feel the spirit of Astrachanian hospitality and enjoy the watermelon produced with love. The Visual metaphor of the festival is built on the bright image of a watermelon melted by heat, because Astrahan is one of Russia’s hottest regions, where the temperature can reach 45 degrees Celsius in summer.
