It is definitely different from everything else that takes place in the city. This festival has its own style, atmosphere and mood.”

This time, the river port appeared in a way that it should be not just once a year, but daily. The festival offers role models that Narva needs and for which sometimes there is not enough courage. This illumination of potential affects locals as well.”
