FVWA WestVolks is arranging another get-together in nice company with air-cooled Volkswagens at the historic Old Harbour of Pietarsaari. As in previous years, the venue will be at the old dance pavilion of the voluntary fire brigade (VPK/FBK). Grilled sausages, other snacks and drinks will be available for purchase. The actual event will take place on Saturday at 10–18 but the area is booked for the whole weekend – so staying overnight is possible. There is a beautiful beach nearby (about 50 m), and this year there will be a weekend music festival known as Popkalaset with many popular artists performing at FantaSea Park next to the beach. Welcome to spend another great day around VWs here on the Ostrobothnian coast! |
