Power Festival brings to Imatra a very impressive artist line-up in July

Power Festival is a new music festival organized in Imatra on the first weekend of July, July 2022 - 1, 2.7.2022, in connection with the traditional Imatranajo XNUMX event. The venue of the festival is the Fortum park area, on the shore of Vuoksi, a stone's throw away from the Imatranaj race track.

Imatranajo is the most significant road racing competition in the Nordic countries, where more than 50 race guests are expected to arrive. (www.imatranajo.fi)
