Finland’s largest and most cheerful children’s festival kicks off with a music celebration at Hertunranta Beach Park. The opening ceremony will feature a performance by Meritta & Sekometelisoppa, a brand-new children’s music ensemble from Jyväskylä made up of professional musicians and music educators. Sekometelisoppa’s ingredients include a ladleful of high-quality children’s music, a dash of fairy-tale magic, a pinch of playful fun, and a spoonful of movement and games.
At the opening, you’ll also meet Lehtevämies, Vekara’s godmother Kati Hyyppä, the companion dogs, and other colorful characters from the festival week. The UNICEF Varkaus volunteer group will run a refreshment stand, and Vekara-Varkaus will provide juice for the partygoers. Bring your own blanket or mat to sit on during the program.
Organized by Vekara-Varkaus
