TransportFest 2027: modern vehicles and transport history

When: 20 May 2027 — 22 May 2027

Where: Manezhnaya Square and Klenovaya Street, Saint Petersburg; check the programme for the retro parade route

TransportFest makes urban transport the theme of a major Saint Petersburg festival. Compare modern vehicles with historic ones and look more closely at machines usually treated simply as a way to get from one place to another.

What is planned?

An innovative transport exhibition is announced for 20–22 May 2027 on Manezhnaya Square and Klenovaya Street. The festival also includes business meetings and cultural events, allowing different visitors to build very different days around it.

A retro-vehicle run and open-air exhibition are planned for 22 May. They provide another reason to visit for enthusiasts of transport history. Check the current programme for the precise route and display locations: the general announcement does not establish when a particular vehicle will reach a particular point.

Planning your visit

The festival period is 20–22 May 2027. Start with the format that interests you: the city exhibition, retro run or professional programme. Each can have its own location and time.

To discuss a journey with Hola Taxi, identify your chosen festival activity and departure address. Traffic arrangements may change during the city programme, so discuss the meeting point and return using current information. Do not assume vehicle access directly to the display.
