The culmination of the festival will come on Saturday, July 22, when the fire, water and light installations around Lake Veskijärv will be combined with performances from Karl-Erik Taukar and Terminaator.

The almost week-long Tõrva Fire Days is underway. Today’s event’s include an athletics day for children, gin-drinking training for adults, and a sunset picnic and concert with Pearu Paulus.

The wide and varied program of events will continue on Friday, with a fair throughout the daytime in Sõprus Park, a quiz, sports training, and a concert by Räpina Jack.

The biggest day of the festival, however, is Saturday, when the fair will return, along with football, fishing, and lifeguard competitions, a Viking camp in the central square, and more. The day will culminate with a concert in the evening from Karl-Erik Taukar, Terminaator, and Freddy Tomingas. This will be combined with the festival fire, light installations around Lake Veskijärv.

The festival will end on Sunday with a variety of sports competitions.
