Things to do in December and over the New Year

As Christmas approaches, events in Keuruu will feature the gentle heat of the smoke sauna and a series of Christmas concerts. On Boxing Day, the dancing will resume on the large dance floor at Keurusselkä Resort, and the lively celebrations will continue right through to New Year’s Eve. Let’s all head to the Metsä-Multia Arena ice rink to cheer on our team!
Visit Keuruu wishes all its followers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2026!
