Program
The 2026 festival program included an aviation show, performances on the water, the Vasilevsky Bazaar, and sports areas.
Connection to the Museum of Speeds
The opening of the 2026 festival was timed to coincide with the renovation of the Museum of Speeds in Chkalovsk — an institution dedicated to the designer Rostislav Alekseev and the development of high-speed shipbuilding. Nizhny Novgorod Oblast Governor Gleb Nikitin, during a working visit to Chkalovsk, inspected the progress of the work and noted that the renovation was expected to be completed about a week before the festival's opening.
