The Youth Day 2026 Festival will take place at the Khabarovsk Waterfront on June 27.

Doors will open at 10 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. Several zones will offer diverse activities for visitors. The 'Unity' zone will highlight cultural diversity with displays of household items and traditional clothing from Indigenous peoples. In the 'Pride' zone, attendees can join socially impactful initiatives like bone marrow donation registration, workshops on operating mechanical tanks, and drone piloting. This area will also teach skills such as weaving tactical bracelets, assembling 'dry showers', and collecting humanitarian aid.

The 'Youth' zone will provide a photo booth, details on youth policy projects, and workshops for customising clothing. Health screenings, career guidance quizzes, and psychology workshops will be available throughout the festival. Meanwhile, the 'Young Entrepreneurs’ Market' will host 30 local businesses showcasing their products and services.

A 'Dream' space will allow participants to take part in a wish-making ritual, symbolising the unity of youth aspirations. The festival will end with a live performance by Kangi, known for popular tracks like 'Just Hear Me Out', 'Eiya', and 'Take My Heart'. The festival will run for 12 hours with a wide range of activities and entertainment. Visitors can explore cultural exhibits, engage in workshops, and enjoy a closing concert. The event aims to bring together young people through shared experiences and learning opportunities.
