Iltalehti reached the Summer Peace Festival Director Annakaisa Anttilawho reminds us that the majority of Saturday artists performed as planned.
“A total of 16 artists were able to perform on four platforms, which were introduced as soon as the gates were opened at 6 pm,” he says.
– At that point, the gusts of the wind had clearly calmed down and the weather made it safe to open. The going continued to two, the most popular and the biggest performers in their size, focused on the evening. Although we were able to summarize the festival schedule, it was not possible to compact much and it was not possible to extend the festival day.
As the strong wind faded, Anttila said there was no need to take further measures to ensure customer safety.
– During the evening we returned the festival. Due to the wind, we had removed from the festival regional banners around the festival so that the fences would not fall. We had put the furniture in the ground, and then they could not be placed until the audience arrived. The technology worked for the pallets, he says, and adds that not all four pallets played at the same time.
– After all, we also denied working in the area of work because it was not safe. So we could not do preparatory work.
Sunday weather seems to favor celebrations.
– Sure, we still follow, but at no time is bad weather predicted on Sunday. I look at this home window and show that there will be a sunny day, he says.
