Rafting down Barnaulka: performance for the cleanliness of city rivers

Back in 1993, the musicians of “Oak Grove” held an action-performance to draw attention to the environmental problems of the rivers of Barnaul. The event has become a good tradition. In the first years, the guys kayaked along Pivovarka, and since the mid-2000s, the events moved to the deeper Barnaulka. Today at 15:00 a rafting event took place along the river in honor of the anniversary of the first rafting.

The rafting participants started upstream near Zagorodnaya Street in the village. Bulygino. About 50 minutes later they appeared within view of the spectators.
