Pentala Archipelago Museum marks the end of the boating and summer-cottage season with an Espoo Day Venetian-style celebration. The day begins with feeding the sheep, followed by short visits to Gurli's House. In the afternoon, the Fisherman's Cottage hosts a JuuriJuhla folk-music concert, and the day finishes with a visit to the sheep pasture. The museum and all programme are free.
