Afisha Picnic 2013 — is a truly special event for us, — says the festival’s producer Dmitry Pyanov, — this year the Picnic celebrates its tenth anniversary. During this time the festival has repeatedly confirmed its status as the main summer event in the city. This status is indicated by the scale of the event, number of participants, and level of organization.
