- We hope for a great commitment from Pitebor and many associations so that at least 400 lanterns are lit around the city and out in the villages, says Agnes Hansius, who is active in the project Piteå 400 years.
At 4 pm on New Year's Eve, the lanterns will be released against the dark sky.
Corona fitted
The celebration starts already at 15.00 in a corona-adapted way with a locally produced program that is broadcast on Piteå municipality's Facebook page.
- We guarantee that it will be a pleasant moment. You get to see "Siwan" out in the shopping crowd, hear the formula for success behind the biathlon stars Hanna and Elvira Öberg from Svensbyn, listen to a children's choir, local music video and hear the "New Year's bell" on pita targets - it's just a selection from the program, says Åsa Ivarsdotter, who is host .
