Kaustinen Folk Music Festival's opening day is on the 10th of July 2023 and everyone is welcomed to participate in the celebration of folk music and dance. There will be free entrance for everyone on the day of opening, which is made possible by savings bank Avain Säästöpankki.
A free-entrance opening day is a tradition at the festival. "Together with Avain Säästöpankki, we want to make attending the happiest days of summer as effortless as possible for everyone.", says the festival's executive director Valtteri Valo.
Collaborating with Kaustinen Folk Music Festival allows Avain Säästöpankki a wide and positive visibility not only locally, but nationwide. In addition to public visibility, the people of Avain Säästöpankki are also partaking in other parts of the festival, such as holding their own display tent in the area and performing their signature concert on Thursday.
"Accountability is one of Avain Säästöpankki's guiding values. In this collaboration we can implement accountability differently compared to what's ordinary at our bank. With this free-entrance on Monday we can enable a festival experience for all." announces the business director Susanna Järvenpää.
