Weekend at the Picnic: 8 sports venues of the festival

On July 29, the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve will host the traditional annual Afisha Picnic. This year, a number of sports grounds will be open for guests of the event throughout the day.

Baseball ground, as in the movie about MLB stars.

Feel like a New York Yankees player or a character in a movie about MLB stars. “Championship” will erect a baseball field at the Picnic for those who dreamed of hitting the ball just like in the American movie. The balls will be served by a special cannon. The player’s task is to hit as many balls as possible in one series of “shots”. The basics will be taught by professional players. Grand slam, double, bow, jack – quickly learn the strokes and movements, put on protective equipment. Then it’s up to you.

Mobile fitness station with group trainings

World Class will present in Kolomenskoye a new format of trainings – Gym Station by World Class. It is a compact mobile fitness station in the “belly” of a beautiful sea container and outside. There is a zone of functional training with the most different equipment – from a tourniquet to bars and rope, and 20 people can work out simultaneously without disturbing each other. So everyone who is partial to sports, get ready for group training in the open air.

From Muscovite to captain of a ship: we tell you how

“Wind Force” – a young community, whose participants are engaged in sailing and travel a lot on yachts around the world. Today it is not just an association of friends, but also a serious licensed school that holds its own regattas and expeditions, issues international licenses to captains and trains racers in Moscow. At the Picnic the guys will take place on a small area behind the main stage, where they will try to dispel popular yachting stereotypes and explain that yachting, and sailing in particular, can become a part of any citizen’s lifestyle.

In the seventh heaven from Mövenpick

The famous Swiss ice cream brand will open its own platform at the Picnic. Here you will be able to make a real flight in an aerotube, get memorable photos and make funny selfies with friends! And, of course, not without ice cream – visitors will have an opportunity to try the novelty from Mövenpick – popsicles “Walnut, Maple Syrup”.

Racing tracks for virtual and real races

Duracell will organize a large game zone of two racing tracks at the festival. One – RC racing – for racing radio-controlled cars, the other – VR racing – for high-speed races in Oculus rift car simulators. A large scoreboard tracks the results of each participant’s races, the number of which is unlimited throughout the festival. Every half an hour on the Duracell podium the best drivers receive prizes, after which the results are reset and you can test yourself again by improving your own power record.

The longest kicker and a tap, beatboxing and breakdancing battle

Tic Tac will have its own platform with refreshing entertainment at Afisha Picnic. A battle of street cultures – tap, beatboxing and breakdancing – will take place here. For fans of team games, the longest kicker – 2.5 meters in length – will be installed – eight participants can play it at once, as well as a zone of PS move and Kinect games. Practice in advance – the winners will receive gifts.

Badminton Championship “Higher Volan – 2017”

CTC will open a playground at the Afisha Picnic, where the badminton championship “Higher shuttlecock – 2017” will take place. Any guest of the Picnic will be able to defeat his buddy on a bet or fight in the company of friends. A juicy DJ set and dancing by the cheerleaders will cheer up and tone up. The most active participants with rackets will get prizes from the TV channel.

Myoarmwrestling and cyborg games

The future is already here: on the site of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology it will be possible to compete with friends on the strength of your electromyography. You don’t need any cubes and biceps. At myoarmresling, participants will wear electrons that read the signals sent by your contracting muscles. To win, you have to tense a muscle bigger and stronger than your opponent. You will also be able to become a cyborg and try on a model of a bionic prosthetic arm from a 3D printer.
