Dear international friend!

Is it possible to combine ukuleles, northern winter and tropical warmth, you may ask?

Yes, we have snow and perhaps – 20 C degrees outdoors, but indoors spa water is + 30 C degrees all year round. Spa Hotel Vesileppis is a perfect venue for the fifth edition of Tropical Winter Ukulele Festival.  Concerts, workshops and happy strumming, accommodation, food and drinks, all under one roof.  Hotel accommodation includes tickets to friday and saturday events (excl. workshops). -
Did you notice, unique Moomin Cave under the venue has more than 30 000 visitors annually?

Ukulele is a small instrument and sounds best on small stages. Sometimes we are crowded but instead of being sold out, we just arrange more venues for newcomers too. 

TWUF 15 January - 17 January 2021   

Due to the Corona situation we will not be able to carry out the Leppävirta ukulele festival this year as we have experienced for five years. The sociable and international live event will be held again in January 2022.
This year the festival happenings can be followed on internet.
