Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to secure the best parking spots, especially if driving. Consider carpooling or using public transport to ease congestion.
- Bring cash for purchases, as not all vendors may accept card payments, although card payment is preferred at the office for stall fees.
- Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be exploring multiple buildings and outdoor areas. Dress in layers as the event is in late November.
- Check the event's social media hashtags (#voipaala #voipaalanjoulumarkkinat #taidejataitojoulumarkkinat) for updates and to share your own experiences.
- If you plan to purchase larger items, inquire about delivery options or be prepared to transport them yourself, as the venue has limited space for temporary storage.
