Workers' Music Festival 26th—29st July

The Workers' Music Festival takes place by the canal in the centre of Valkeakoski, in the industrial milieu of the Tervasaari mill area and the Myllysaari museum. The working industrial facility and the historic museum area together create a unique setting for the event that last summer attracted 40,000 music lovers of all ages. In addition to concerts and clubs, the four-day event includes outdoor dancing and musical lake cruises. The traditional night-time singalong event by the pond in the woods is a celebration of sentiment, light and music.
