Summer Festival

Since 2011 we have been organizing summer festivals at our Headquarters and other locations. The festivals are very popular events and are visited by local residents as well as employees and their families; every year the combined summer festivals attracted over 4,000 visitors. Each location plans their own exciting events. The festival’s fair and food stalls are free of charge, and also the lottery with great prizes is very popular.

Headquarters

In 2019 the summer festival at the Headquarters attracted over 3,000 visitors. Highlights of the event were the performance by a professional dance group and penalty shoot-out between departments. At the food stalls we served sausages, fried chicken, ice cream and pineapple.

Employees show a another side of themselves, playing folk guitar or perform with their band. The music resonated across the cafeteria transforming it into a music hall with a capacity of over 400 people. The first edition was held in 2015 and more than 900 people participated, making for a lively event that really brought the musicians and spectators together.
