Enjoy the city center

The Kalajoki city center is flourishing and developing

In the Kalajoki city center, you can find both modern services and good old times’ vibes. Time goes by a little slower, noise and hurry have no place here. Still, there are shops with plenty of offering and many events to choose from. All in all, Kalajoki gets you in a good mood. The center has seen a lot of renewals in recent years, with new improvements every year.
It’s only 8 kilometres from the Sand Dunes to the city center – a perfect bike ride or short drive to do some shopping!

 

Culture and events

Laid back leisure

Join the locals and hop from one happening to another, spend the day with your friends enjoying music at the Kajari downtown festival. Or why not just go see a movie?

The city center is pulsing with events and things to do year-round. The events in Plassi, the old town, are concentrated around the idyllic courtyard of the Havula manor in the summertime. Enjoy art exhibitions with a cup of coffee, visit the Havula Jazz festival or join the artists at the Art week to do some artwork of your own.

The annual events at the city center are putting a hat on the Jussi statue on May Day, Havula Jazz & Blues, Kajari downtown festival, Pauhamat Culture Week and the traditional Plassi market.
