What’s On
Oravi is a lively village with plenty to see and do all year round.
In summer, you can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities such as paddling and fishing, as well as cultural and music events. In June, the village comes alive with Midsummer celebrations, and throughout the season, there are troubadour evenings and local fish-themed events.
As autumn arrives, the atmosphere becomes calmer, but there’s still plenty happening. Oravi also celebrates the beauty of nature with special days like Linnansaari Day and Finnish Nature Day.
