St. Petersburg fountains run still during daytime hours but come alive with movement at set times each evening. The city just turned on five more fountain displays. Workers started the first fountains in April, and May 1 marked the start date for additional musical light shows, according to 78.ru news.
The new water features include one at Moskovskaya Square and others at Torgovaya Square in Peterhof, the Tic-Tac-Toe display in Sestroretsk, near Gostiny Dvor in Kronstadt, and at Lenin Square close to Finland Station. These musical fountains need extra setup time because they use more advanced technology than regular ones. They operate in regular mode throughout the day before switching to their special dancing routines at scheduled hours.
City officials report they have fixed up more than 60 fountains throughout St. Petersburg since 2020.
