The story

Apples in Kolomna Festival in Kolomna

Apples in Kolomna is an international garden-and-book festival that reached its thirteenth edition, pairing the city's historic pastila confection, famous enough to have reached Paris, with literary programming that explores writers' gardens and Lewis Carroll's own visit to Kolomna across ten venues in the historic center.

Kolomna, a historic city in the Moscow region known for its well-preserved kremlin and old town, hosts Apples in Kolomna each September, an international garden-and-book festival that by a recent year had reached its thirteenth edition, filling the city, in the festival's own framing, with the scent of apples and the rustle of book pages.

02

The mystery stays covered

By its thirteenth edition, the festival ran across ten separate venues in Kolomna's historic center, combining author meetings, music concerts, gastronomic master classes, and theatrical performances into one citywide program
