Skidiviikko, a week dedicated to children's culture, will be celebrated in Tuusula from 3 to 9 November 2025.
The free performances include theatre, dance, music, magic and even opera for children. The 23 performances during the week will reach a total of 1,700 children. Most of the weeku0026#x27;s performances are sold out, but there are still some seats available for a few performances.
The performances during Skidiviikko deal with topics such as emotions and moods, marvelling at the wonders of nature, childhood games and listening to classic stories. Skidiviikko introduces children to various forms of performing arts.
During Skidiviikko in November, performances will be held in all municipal centres in Tuusula. Theatre Tuomikko’s puppet show Ihmeitä ja kummia (Wonders and Strange Things) will be performed in Kellokoski and Jokela. The show was awarded the ITU 2025 prize, which is awarded by a panel of professionals from children’s cultural centres to the most interesting performance idea of the year. Dance theatre Raatikko’s production Minkä värinen on tänään? (What colour is today?), which premiered at the end of October, will be performed in all municipal centres. The music of Pentti Rasinkangas, winner of the State Prize for Children’s Culture, will be performed by a trio in Hyrylä.
