Times and Epochs — 2017

This year «Times & Epochs» change the format. Now this is not just an event in Kolomenskoye dedicated to a particular period. The festival becomes a grand convent of 6,000 reenactors from around the world who will represent during 12 days the epochs from the antiquity to the XX century. «Times & Epochs. The Gathering» is a real exhibition of achievements in the reenactment domain, a platform for sharing ideas and experience.

«Times & Epochs» will begin on June 1 at the «Podmoskovnaya», a railroad station of the early XX century. By the retro-train reenactors representing all the eras of the festival will arrive.
In different parts of the park «Tsaritsyno» there will be camps of Petrine soldiers and in the «Kolomenskoye» — of Roman legionaries. On Tverskoy Boulevard, visitors will meet teams of reenactors from around the world. They will constantly replace each other, then leave to participate in park festivals, then return for informal communication with colleagues and guests. On Pushkin Square one can look at the everyday life of a monk, warrior and family of past epochs which will settle in transparent houses. Next to them archaeologists will process founds from excavations in Moscow. On the Vostochnaya street there will be a park of medieval siege machines. The Novy Arbat will become a fighting arena, where the best medieval warriors will compete in fencing. And on Chistoprudniy Boulevard, the guests will be transported to the second half of the XIX century, to the picturesque Sevastopol Promenade.
