The Christmas spirit of Pyhäjoki

Enjoy the Christmas spirit of Pyhäjoki! Once again, the residents of Pyhäjoki have decorated their gateposts, windows, Christmas trees — and even an old military vehicle — with festive flair.

You can easily soak up the Christmas spirit on an evening walk, moving from one decorated location to another. This year, there are 16 sites in the town center, four in Parhalahti, and seven in Yppäri.

The decoration event will culminate on January 2, 2026, with the Festival of Light — which will also serve as the opening event for Pyhäjoki’s Oulu 2026 European Capital of Culture year.
