Tips & Advice

  • Drive straight into the Toriparkki under the square from Rauhankatu, since its 600 spaces on two levels put you right at the village.
  • Take a local bus if you can, because most city lines run via the market square and long-distance buses connect from Matkakeskus.
  • Small sellers can share a stall with another business or association, a lower-commitment way to join without renting a whole cabin alone.
  • Dress for the cold, because the village program takes place outdoors on the market square in winter conditions.
  • Stay home if you're feeling sick, as the organizers follow official health guidance and ask unwell visitors not to come.
