The V Singing Stolby (or Singing Pillars) Festival took place at the Bobrovy Log Fun Park. This traditional open-air event attracted over 1,500 residents and visitors of Krasnoyarsk, offering a packed programme across three themed venues.

Liliya Nazmutdinova, Head of the Sverdlovsky District Administration, in her welcoming speech:

— The scale of the "Singing Stolby" grows year by year. It is obvious not just in the attendee umbers, but in the incredible atmosphere created by the city's residents. It is no longer just a weekend cultural programme, but a living ecosystem where every resident finds something that resonates with them. Our goal is to carefully nurture this blend of nature and art so that such celebrations become our signature event.

The event opened with a performance of international significance: as part of the XXIV International Festival of Chamber and Orchestral Music "Asia — Siberia — Europe", Wu Wei—an outstanding contemporary virtuoso from China—performed for Krasnoyarsk residents on the main stage. The audience enjoyed an exclusive program featuring the instrument sheng.

The Festival programme unfolded across three locations. Performance groups and studios of the Sverdlovsky District took the stage near the ski lift, while guitar sing-along performances entertained the crowd at the top of the cable car line. Nearby, a large-scale plein air painting event titled "Abalakovskaya Natura" brought together artists and students from the Krasnoyarsk Art College. The main stage blossomed with performances by the Dance Ensemble "Yeniseyskie Zori" and the Russian folk song ensemble "Zori."
