Varusteleka x Nouxfest, Nuuksio AUG 14–17, 2025

A shout-out from Nuuksio! The outdoor activities festival, Nouxfest, will be held for the second time in mid-August. The Finnish Nature Centre Haltia's event field will serve as the hub, with program activities extending into Nuuksio's forests, lakes, and rocks.

Varusteleka's Hut

We have a cozy little (or not so little) hut at the area where you can sit down for a while, enjoy our company, and try out some of our clothing and gear! The hut is open on Friday and Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM. See you there!

What is Nouxfest?

At Nouxfest, you can try out various activities, including paddling, mountain biking, open-water swimming, trail running, orienteering, rock climbing, forest yoga, hiking, and outdoor skills. There's something to do for both experienced veterans and complete beginners.

On the program stage, you can hear about trips, nature destinations, and equipment. In the evenings, there will be live music, amazing outdoor films, and a communal camp atmosphere.

Part of the event is the Nouxfest Expo, an active outdoor fair showcasing top-tier hobby products and Finland's finest outdoor destinations. At the Expo, you can try many products in practice.

You can participate in Nouxfest in different ways: with a free area pass, an affordable trial pass, or an almost all-inclusive adventure pass. Read more about the passes on the Nouxfest website!
