Jyväskylä is a vibrant city in Central Finland, surrounded by scenic lakes, forests, and rolling hills. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and rich cultural heritage, the city is closely associated with famous architect Alvar Aalto. Jyväskylä is easily accessible by car, train, or via Helsinki Airport, making travel convenient for international visitors. In September, the region offers beautiful autumn landscapes and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, nature walks, and sightseeing. With a mix of modern services and natural charm, Jyväskylä is a great destination for both dog show participants and travelers.
The show is held at the Killeri horse race track in connection with the NORD show, so the rings will be either on the horse track or on the training track/infield.
