Visit Nokia’s travel year 2023 is packed with events, activities and leisurely days spent in good company. All you need to do is pick your favourite events and destinations and experience them first hand.

The iconic Tapsan Tahdit music festival, the nostalgic Nokian Vanhat Talot old house tour and the family-oriented Kekri autumn festival at Knuutila Manor are prime examples of the versatility of events offered in Nokia. One of the top sports events of the summer is once again the European Open, the leading professional disc golf event in Europe, where top players from around the world compete for the PDGA Major title.

Active visitors will find padel courts, golfing greens and stand-up paddleboarding services to test their skills. For those who love the great outdoors, hiking and nature trails criss-crossing through a beautiful scenery of lakes offer kilometres of experiences. Hikers looking for new paths to tread are advised to rely on the know-how of local wilderness guides. The highlight of the summer for beer buffs might be a visit to Nokian Panimo’s recently refurbished brewery visitor centre, while theatre lovers are sure to enjoy the new productions presented at the open air theatres in town.
