Parhalahti Village Festival

Welcome to celebrate village day in Parhalahti school yard on Sunday 9.6. from 12:00 to 15:00.

MAGICIAN ROOPE’S MAGIC SHOW This year, the Village Day is literally magical, as magician Roope Ylitalo will be performing.

The family-friendly magic show reportedly features floating tables, disappearing objects, and shape-shifting items – astonishing feel-good magic.

In addition to his magic tricks, Roope has promised to make balloon animals for the children at the Village Day.

LEPPÄKEIHÄS CHAMPIONSHIP 2024 The Leppäkeihäs throwing championship is once again up for grabs. The contest is lighthearted with a touch of humor and unofficially playful – though taken seriously as the championship is at stake.

There are categories for men, women, and those under 14 years old. Winners in the men’s and women’s categories will receive an axe as a prize, undoubtedly giving them an advantage in future years’ Leppäkeihäs qualifiers. To enter the competition, sign up on site on Sunday.

At the sales market, there will be summer flowers, licorice by the meter, ice cream, Scouts’ raffle tickets, hair care products, Oriflame products, pea soup by the Martha’s, and treats from the village association’s café.

This year’s event will be hosted by familiar voices from Radio Mega, Radio City, Iskelmä, and Radio Pooki, including Mika Kuki.
