Kotka Maritime Festival 50 years

Kotka Maritime Festival which is held from 26th to 29th July, is Finland’s largest maritime carnival, organised in an authentic port area, around the architectural pearl Vellamo Maritime Center.

The festival has been organized since 1962. Today it gathers more than 200 000 participants yearly. This year the theme is ‘Baltic Sea’ and it can be seen in all actions, starting from a special seminar ending to a Baltic Sea Village in the festival area.

The festival offers a superb setting of maritime culture, visiting vessels, a concert programme from rock to classical music, a sea song competition, maritime jazz, exhibitions, street theater and a special festival for children, the Children’s Maritime Festival.
