Roshen Quay

The embankment of the South Bug River, in the center of Vinnitsa, is known for the light-musical floating fountain ROSHEN, which opened in September 2011. The history of the appearance of Roshen embankment in Vinnytsia is inextricably linked with a confectionery factory under the same name, located on the banks of the Southern Bug River. Its construction was completed in 2007, and a year later a project for the reconstruction of the embankment appeared.

Work on it and the adjacent street began two years later. Here trenches were dug, power cables were laid, a high bank was “dressed” in concrete, a wide staircase was installed, a small pier for motor boats was built, the embankment was decorated with green spaces and winding stone paths, a children’s playground appeared on it. But the main attraction of Roshen embankment was a magnificent floating fountain with a projection tower and powerful audio speakers. It is considered one of the most spectacular fountains in the country. Water jets of different sizes, soar up to the enchanting music, create a large - about 16 height and 45 meters wide - screen, which with the help of world and laser effects created extraordinary shows.

The construction of the embankment was carried out at the expense of private investments of the Petro Poroshenko Foundation, for the reconstruction of which 70 million hryvnias were spent. Thanks to him, and the head of the confectionery concern Roshen, the abandoned, unattractive stretch of the coast has become a favorite place for children and adults.
