Events in Joensuu – Winter and Spring 2020

Is Joensuu just a summer city? Definitely that too — but there’s so much more! Early winter and spring are also packed with a wide variety of major public events. Accommodation fills up quickly during these times, so it’s a good idea to book your stay well in advance!

SM-viikko in Joensuu – January 31 to February 2, 2020
Joensuu will host an incredibly diverse lineup of sports when the multi-sport event SM-viikko arrives in town. Whether you’re into billiards, bridge, digital motorsports, archery, darts, grip strength competitions, ski orienteering, precision shooting, dog sledding, cricket, taekwondo—or something else entirely—make sure to book your accommodation close to all the action!

Finnish Winter Swimming Championships – February 7–9, 2020
A record number of participants is expected at the Finnish Winter Swimming Championships, held in Joensuu’s brand-new Ilosaari Lagoon. After a day of competition, our apartments offer the perfect place to rest — and you can even have breakfast delivered right to your door. Ask us about available apartments!

Finnish Junior Cross-Country Skiing Championships in Kontiolahti – February 13–16, 2020
Our holiday apartments are located right next to the public ski trail — perfect for testing your skis just steps from your door. There’s plenty of space for training gear, and after a race, you can relax and recover in your very own sauna. 🙂 Get in touch to ask about availability!

‒Biathlon World Cup in Kontiolahti – March 12–15, 2020
We’re just as excited about the biathlon buzz in our neighboring municipality of Kontiolahti here in Joensuu! Our accommodations are currently fully booked during the event — but we’ll let you know if anything becomes available!

‒Dog Shows – May 22–24, 2020
We welcome dogs too — and many dog show visitors already know it! This spring, Joensuu will be full of furry friends as the dog show takes over the city in May. Be sure to ask about our pet-friendly accommodation well in advance!

Accommodation prices during these events: €180 / night (1–6 people).
Excluding SM-viikko (January 31 – February 2, 2020) — ask us for a special offer!
