Finnish Bar Terrace Ambience

About the sound

Spending time outside at the bar terrace is popular past time during the short Finnish summer. Many Finns head out for refreshments especially during the holiday season.

Really hot summer days are rare in the Finnish summer and if they happen to arrive, the bar terraces are crowded. Sometimes until late at night.

This recording was made during the Keitelejazz festival in Äänekoski and it was recorded late at night, approximately at 2.30 am.

In the audio you can hear people chatting cheerfully, someone playing short melodies with the accordion and the bartender collecting pints and glasses from the tables.
