The Petersburg administration has outlined a process to coordinate street performances and open-air exhibitions, sharing details via Moyka78 with reference to the relevant regulatory document. The regulation, issued on February 9, has undergone anti-corruption review as part of the formal procedure.

The document specifies that a single performance may last up to 30 days, while concerts without amplified sound are capped at 14 days. Outdoor exhibitions are limited to a period of six months. It is also stated that a performer may legally return to the same venue after a minimum gap of 30 days.

Applicants must submit their requests no later than 20 days before the event, or at minimum 10 working days prior to the planned date. Each submission should include a copy of a government-issued identity document, power of attorney if the applicant is not presenting in person, a layout of equipment, a complete list of equipment, consent to process personal data, and a copy of the statute and order appointing the chairperson (for legal entities).

Applications are to be filed with district offices, with the exception of Palace Square, where events are managed by the city cultural committee. When applying again for a subsequent event, applicants are not required to resubmit the full set of documents.

In related developments, Alexei Kortnev, formerly the leader of the band Accident, supported the introduction of fines for street musicians who perform obscene songs.
