- Accessibility
- The Kuusijärvi area is mostly accessible. The arrival area has accessible parking and an accessible toilet, and an accessible route of about 300 m leads from the beach smoke-sauna direction to the grill area. The exact positions of the workshop, beach bubble area and concert, and event-day route conditions, have not been published, so accessibility and stroller access may vary with the area and weather.
Plan your visit
- Practical notes
- Programme points are spread around Kuusijärvi: the giant bubbles are near the beach and the concert is at the grill area. Allow time to move between them and supervise children near the water. The city recommends arriving on foot, by bicycle or public transport; buses 736 and 712 serve the area. In unsettled weather, a possible concert cancellation will be announced on the Kulttuuria Vantaalla Facebook and Instagram accounts.
