TMW x Vivita Kids Festival 2023 — Children and Young People Aged 9–18 Organized the Festival of Their Dreams
This year’s TMW x Vivita Kids Festival took place for the third time at Vivistop Telliskivi, and the organizers were none other than Vivita’s children and young people themselves. The festival took place on a sunny Saturday in May which attracted many music lovers.
This year’s organizing team consisted of 15 active Vivita members. Allow us to introduce the youngsters who have been organizing the festival with great enthusiasm for the last few months — Emma Charlotte, Aksel, Paula, Emma Linda, Miron, Liisa, Mirtel, Emma Anette, Olivia, Roosi, Ralf, Vivian, Andri, Silvia and Emili Mai!
The festival day was opened by the band RUTE with a raucous opening act. After the powerful concert, Liisa and Emma Linda interviewed the band members Rute and Hugo, asking them many exciting questions about both the music field as well as their daily activities.
At the same time, a “Synthesizer demo station” workshop took place in the wood workshop, where under the guidance of Iti Teder, you could discover the mystical world of electronic music and produce music yourself. On the main stage, we all picked up djembes and played the drums with the fantastic drummer Silver Ulvik. In the robotics corner, you could have glitter makeup done by the golden hands of Olivia, Emili Mai and Emma Linda.
A Flea Market was held in front of Vivistop throughout the festival, where homemade jewelry, toys, books, as well as pavlova, boba drink and homemade healthy sweets were sold. In addition, visitors could purchase a sweet bite of Kooker mini pancakes. A charity box was also placed at the flea market, which earned €87 during the day. Earned income was donated to charity fond “I help children” to Ukrainian children.
Everyone’s favorite Steveli, with whom you could learn Afro dance, spun the disc at the DJ console. All DJ enthusiasts could also try the DJ console. The day ended with the brilliant dance troupe of ETA Dance School, who performed for all Telliskivi Creative City visitors.
Before the festival, the youth show NOVA visited Vivistop. Emma Charlotte, Liisa, Olivia, Emili Mai, Roosi, Emma Linda, Emma Anette, Andri, Vivian, Miron and Aksel spoke more about the preparations. How the young people prepared for the festival, see here.
