Lakeside Sauna, Petäjälampi Shore, Kuusamo Tropiikki
At the end of Saturday’s festival day, the atmosphere continues at Kuusamo Tropiikki Hotel’s lakeside sauna on the shore of Petäjälampi. Next to the sauna, a traditional kota tent invites you to enjoy the fire, while the sauna itself offers gentle steam and the pier gives access to a refreshing dip in the clear waters of Petäjälampi. Seating in the sauna is limited, but while waiting you can relax in the spacious dressing rooms, on the terrace, on the pier, or by the fire in the kota tent. Dining is also available in the tent.
The evening also features an experiential program:
19:00 Hannu Huhtamo: Light Painting
From 19:30 onwards: Saunavihdat – Kivimäki & Hakosalo
