This Saturday, April 4th, Moscow will host ‘Motovesna 2026’. In celebration of its first significant anniversary, the organizers have prepared an especially packed program for guests.
For ten years, the ‘Motovesna’ festival has served as the unofficial kick-off to the motorcycle season in the city. In 2026, the event will take place at the ‘Patriot EXPO’ congress and exhibition center. Muscovites are invited to experience demonstrations and test drives of modern recreational vehicles, receive consultations from instructors of the Mosgortrans motorcycle school, and meet specialists from the Fire and Rescue Center, the Traffic Management Center, the State Traffic Inspectorate, and rescue services. The program also includes discussions with experts and bloggers, along with a dedicated zone and interactive shows for families with children.
Racers and spectators can look forward to the enduro stadium – a compact, enclosed track designed to test skill with obstacles such as logs, rock sections, jumps, and sharp turns. The strongest riders from Russia, ambitious amateurs, and promising young pilots will compete. Organizers anticipate intense competition, suspense, and rivalry across every meter of the track. Additionally, the Moscow Transport stand will host a raffle for a new motorcycle and souvenirs, alongside trial lessons from the Mosgortrans motorcycle school.
Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor for Transport and Industry, stated: “Instructors from the Mosgortrans school will conduct trial outdoor lessons for visitors and provide tips on safe riding. Anyone interested can also register for Category ‘A’ motorcycle training on the spot. Such events offer an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and prepare for the motorcycle season.”
Furthermore, ‘Motovesna 2026’ will showcase unique customized bikes, each transformed into an art object by skilled craftsmen.
The organizers emphasize that this upcoming event is more than just an exhibition; it’s a celebration for those who love technology and speed, and who want to experience the exciting world of motorcycling.
The exhibition is held outdoors at Patriot Park, so comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended for a pleasant day. Admission is free for children under seven; for others, tickets are required. It’s advisable to allocate at least three hours for your visit due to the large area and numerous exhibits. ‘Motovesna’ organizers also note that pets are not allowed. Detailed visitor rules and tickets are available on the event’s website. Discounts are provided for eligible categories of guests, and war veterans can attend for free upon presenting identification. The exhibition will run until April 5th.
