FTimes Report, June 6

President Sauli Niinistö and first lady Jenni Haukio, will begin their stay at Kultaranta, the President’s summer residence from Saturday, said an official press release.

The City of Naantali is scheduled to arrange a welcome reception for the presidential couple at the marina (Kilta jetty) at 5:40 pm on the day.

Earlier in the afternoon, a park concert forming part of the Naantali Music Festival will be held at Kultaranta, featuring the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Okko Kamu.

A sculpture exhibition, displaying the works of Veikko Mylleri, will be opened in the Kultaranta garden on Monday.

The exhibition is being organised in cooperation with the Alfred Kordelin Foundation.

The public will have the opportunity to admire the sculptures and the Kultaranta garden on guided tours organised by the Naantali Tourist Service.

The Kultaranta garden will also be open for the public from 6 pm to 8 pm with free entry on every Friday during the summer.

During the summer, the President continues his work from Kultaranta as well as receiving guests there.

The main event of the early summer is the debate on foreign and security policy, which
has now been hosted three times by Niinistö and will be held this year on 14–15 June.

Kultaranta, which is located on Naantali’s Luonnonmaa Island, has been the summer residence of the President of the Republic of Finland since 1922.  

The Kultaranta residence lies in extensive parkland and has a garden devoted to the growing of flowers and vegetables.
