Fountain at Neva river, Musical fountain on the Neva River, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The fountain at Neva River is a musical fountain installation that creates water streams rising directly from the river surface, synchronized with musical compositions and colored lighting. The display produces geometric patterns that shift with the music and change through a spectrum of illuminated colors.

The floating fountain opened on 12 June 2006 in the Neva opposite the spit of Vasilievsky Island; the complex cost over 900 million roubles and about 90 million roubles a year to service. In 2009 funding problems stopped its operation, and it was later dismantled. A new site was discussed with a restart planned no earlier than 2011, but the relaunch never happened.

The floating fountain opened on 12 June 2006, Russia Day, opposite the spit of Vasilyevsky Island. Muscovites and visitors saw water jets and light rise straight from the Neva. It was also called the floating fountain. Its operation stopped in 2009 and the structure was later dismantled; no restart took place.

The fountain no longer exists: it was shut down in 2009 over funding problems and later dismantled, and plans to relaunch it elsewhere from 2011 were never carried out. Visitors to the spit of Vasilyevsky Island will find only open water where it stood. The embankments along the Neva remain the reference point for locating the site.
