The festival focuses on the earlier<br />
cultural world-view of the Baltic Sea<br />
nations and the ancient Nordic<br />
countries. The <strong>2012</strong> festival is the<br />
11th. This time the topic is TALES –<br />
not only the sagas and myths, but<br />
also reflections in dance, song,<br />
crafts and music. The ancient truth<br />
and traditions in the tales are<br />
brought to the present day through<br />
an original rendition, which has been<br />
passed from generation to generation.<br />

are given an opportunity to create<br />
new songs and music in the old tradition.<br />
