Kotka Sea Days marred by violence, vandalism and disorderly conduct
Kotka’s annual Sea Days festival, which attracted nearly 210,000 visitors over four days, was overshadowed by public disturbances, assaults and widespread vandalism, according to police and local reports. Authorities cleared Isopuisto Park in central Kotka on two consecutive nights after a group of young people from the capital region arrived with weapons and caused chaos.
