Bellows players Siim Rikker, Juhan Uppin, Asso Int, Enrik Visla, Toomas Oks, and Aid Lindvest will play to accompany dancing.
Later in the evening, the party will continue with the contemporary music event Aidaquarium vol 4 in the glass part of the Traditional Music Center where famous folk musicians Cätlin Jaago, Tiit Kikas, Kulno Malva, and Ruslan Trochynskyi will perform together with the DJ P.Julm.
