Ilosaarirock and Karelian pies – the perfect combination for summer

Great music, the best summer vibes, and authentic flavours from North Karelia. See you at the festival weekend!
One of the most anticipated festivals of the summer is here once again as music lovers gather in the beautiful region of North Karelia to enjoy unforgettable performances and the unique festival atmosphere.
Amid all the excitement, remember to stay hydrated and keep your energy levels up. A Karelian pasty is a delicious, convenient snack that's perfect for enjoying between concerts.
Kotileipomo Sorsa's products are widely available throughout Joensuu. You can find our retailers on our website. If you're staying at a hotel, you may also spot our products at the breakfast buffet, for example at Sokos Hotels or Lietsu Boutique Aparthotel.
Before heading home, be sure to stop by our bakery shop and pick up some freshly baked treats to take with you. Our fresh Karelian pasties and other baked goods travel well and make the perfect souvenir—a taste of North Karelia to enjoy at home.
We wish all festival visitors sunny days, unforgettable concerts, and, above all, a fantastic Ilosaarirock weekend!
Enjoy the festival and rock on! 🤘
