Welcome to Humalasalo's Winter Eve! 

In the cold and darkness of winter, it’s once again time to gather together to share the stories of Humalasalo's Winter Eve. In keeping with tradition, there will be a feast, an archery contest hosted by Cupid, fencing, handicrafts and activities for both children and the young at heart.
