Как это было в 2020 году
Несмотря на пандемию, фестиваль в 2020 году всё-таки состоялся. Вместо запланированных трёх он длился всего один день, но очень насыщенный. Зрителей ждали 5 полноценных концертов: два на водной глади каньона и три на основной сцене. На железнодорожной платформе всех посетителей, которые пребывали на поезде, встречал колоритный карельский коллектив Skylark с национальными песнями и наигрышами. Конечно же не обошлось без сюрпризов. На водной глади каньона с дебютом выступил мужской камерный хор - самый молодой коллектив Карельской филармонии, который из-за пандемии смог приступить к репетициям лишь в конце июня и за 1,5 месяца подготовил великолепную программу. За один день фестиваль посетили около 5000 человек.
