Rakvere kicks off the summer with a city festival

 

Rakvere will host the Summer Start Festival this Saturday, May 25. The event will feature three popular foreign artists and three local artists. During the day before the concerts, festival-goers can also enjoy the Tere Perepäev spring market, which offers fun for the whole family.

The stage is set at the spectacular Vallimägi open-air centre for Summer Start Festival 2024. The performers at the festival include dance music band Groove Coverage from Germany, Benassi Bros feat. Dhany from Italy, and singer Mario Bischin from Romania. Local talents Hellad Velled, Merlyn Uusküla, and Släm will also take to the stage.

 

 

In addition to the concerts, visitors can enjoy a spring market during the day. The market will feature over 100 vendors selling food, drinks, seedlings, flowers, handicrafts, and much more. There will also be a children’s area with a trampoline and exciting fairytale characters.

More information about the Summer Start Festival is available in Estonian here. Tickets for the festival cost €15 if bought beforehand or €20 on the day.
