The Russian Wikipedia page for Neptune Day gives it 3 meanings, a tradition for anyone crossing the equator for the first time to be dunked in the water, a tradition in children's summer camps (also called "health camps") usually on July 16, where people dress up as Neptune, mermaids and devils and there is much bathing, and a tourist festival held irregularly in which tourists are thrown in water.
Koktebel is a big resort in Ukraine (like Ibiza for western Europe, or Cancun for north America), most famous for it's jazz festival (which attracts lots of young people from Ukraine and Russia interested in more modern music). Obviously there's a lot going on there, but because we only see pictures involving nudity we get the impression there are naked people everywhere, which is probably not the case. From the description it sounds to me like the "Neptune Day" pictures you are looking for are from one of these "health camps" that happens to be nudist (or at least nude on Neptune Day). From what I can gather it isn't a specific annual event across Koktebel or the rest of Ukraine, but an event held on different days in different summer camps or tourist resorts. The tradition of dressing up as Neptune and mermaids and bathing on a specific day isn't limited to Koktebel, or whichever nudist summer camp the pictures are from, but as usual we're only interested in the nudie pics here!
Perhaps one of our Ukranian (or Russian-speaking) members can confirm?
