Huvimaa Fest is the perfect addition to Turkuâs event offering for children and families
"Weâre extremely happy with the amazing reception Huvimaa Fest received last year. According to the feedback we got, the festival was the highlight of the summer for many families, and thereâs clearly demand for this kind of event. For our family, spending quality time together is a big priority, and it was heartwarming to see how much families enjoyed themselves at the venue," commented Kim and Sonja.
"The first Huvimaa Fest was a big success, so expectations are high," says Kim Pihl, CEO of Suomen Lasten Ohjelmapalvelu Oy, the company organizing the event.
"This year, instead of one day, the festival will be a two-day event. Weâve continued planning and improving the festival based on last yearâs experiences, and next summer the area will be even more diverse. One exciting addition is the Huvimaa Fest Bouncy Park, featuring over a dozen bouncy castles in collaboration with Happy Beavers â something I personally canât wait for!
In collaboration with Duudsoni Activity Park, weâre also offering customers great discounts for both the festival and Duudsoni parks. This is part of our effort to encourage families to enjoy quality time together.
The festival area will remain largely the same, but the main entrance will be moved further into the park to ensure a safer queuing space for visitors. Weâre also paying special attention to restricted items after a few unfortunately made their way in last year.
In response to concerns raised about the Meet'n'Greet area, it will now be fenced off and the queue will be cut at a suitable point to avoid unnecessary waiting," Pihl explains in the press release.
"The joy is in being together!"
