Aulava is a captivating destination in Finland that has played a significant role in the country’s cultural and music scene since its establishment in the 1960s. As a dance venue, opened on May 1, 1967, Aulava not only hosted parties and gatherings but also served as a launching pad for emerging Finnish bands like Hurriganes, Eppu Normaali, Kolmas Nainen, and Popeda. Even internationally renowned acts such as Motörhead and Twisted Sister have performed here, making Aulava a cultural hotspot during the 1970s and 1980s.

Today, Aulava offers not only a rich cultural history but also practical amenities for visitors. The site features a beautiful campground with spaces for tents, motorhomes, and caravans. Additionally, there are summer cottages, a wood-fired sauna, an electric sauna, showers, and toilets. For activities, boats and bicycles are available (at a reasonable rental price), making Aulava an ideal spot for parties, meetings, workshops, and family celebrations.
