The Sata-Häme Soi Festival and competition was held in the first week of July in Ikaalinen, Finland.

The festival included the final of the Golden and Silver Accordion competitions, which was shown live on Alfa-TV. The live 2 hour TV program was watched by 0,5 million people, which is a really huge audience in Finland with a population of 5.5 million people.

The Golden Accordion 2021 competition was extremely tight, finally equal points (equal tens and equal nines) for the two best players. Final historical result = two winners Sonja Lampinen and Vilma Wiren picture above back. The silver accordion winner is Annabel Heikola picture above front.

The jury was led by Raimo Vertainen (CIA Music Committee member) and the live TV show was hosted by Kimmo Mattila and Lola Odusoga, past Miss Finland.

The Sata-Häme Soi Festival will continue in Ikaalinen in August 13-15, when we organise several events on the park stage and concerts in the church and Oma Tupa house.
