Culture & Entertainment
What do running reindeers and wildly spinning air guitarists have in common? Both are widely accepted and appreciated in Oulu - well, at least once a year. Reindeer Feria in winter and the Air Guitar World Championships in August are good examples of the types of diverse culture and entertainment Oulu offers visitors. So go ahead, pick your own favourite event - and come enjoy yourself!

Would you dare give ice swimming a try? Can you hit a ball with a bat? The various exercise and outdoor possibilities in Oulu are so versatile that no matter how good shape you˙re in, you won˙t be the jack of all trades here in Oulu. Not at least unless your visit lasts a long, long time. For boating enthusiasts, the sea and the river could hardly be any more accessible.

Shopping
Combine shopping therapy with a refreshing walk in the centre. You˙ll be sure to save time, though your wallet might feel a bit lighter. You have been warned: the centre of Oulu is packed with great shopping. Saying no to all these great offers will take nerves of steel. Get your souvenirs from the square or from Market Hall.

Fun for Kids
Let˙s just admit it: when the kids are enjoying
themselves, the whole family˙s happy. That is why
we˙ll keep thinking about the kids all year long,
refusing to grow up. After all, it˙s not only the
kids who enjoy an occasional ice cream or two.
Conference & Conventions
How about organising a different type of meeting this time? Or why not make it a seminar? According to our experience, the only thing we need to warn you about is the flood of positive feedback you˙ll receive. Good hotels, versatile meeting places, convenient connections. And it˙s all available any time of the year.
