Stories from the village

Life, lived here.

More happens here than just the events.

Suovanlahti is more than a calendar of gatherings. It's a village where people live, work side by side, sit by the lake sauna and listen to the wind moving across the fields. This is where we collect the stories of that everyday life.

Everyday

Tuesday at Myllytupa

Kahvila Myllytupa opens on Tuesday at eleven. The regulars are already waiting — a coffee break, a lunch break, the summer's first ice cream.

Nature

The lake before anyone else

In the morning the lake is wrapped in mist and the shore is still. No noise, no rush. Just water, light and the feeling of being exactly where you should be.

Culture

The sound carries this far

Traktorijatzit isn't a festival that could happen just anywhere. It's rooted in this village, surrounded by fields, built by the people who live here. The music plays at Myllytupa and the sound travels far across the water.
