Visit Tuusulanjärvi will be participating in the 2026 Travel Fair

The municipality of Tuusula and the city of Järvenpää will participate in the Visit Tuusulanjärvi joint stand at the Matkamessut 2026 travel fair at the Helsinki Exhibition Centre. The fair begins on Thursday 15 January with a professional day and continues with the general public from 16 to 18 January. The Visit Tuusulanjärvi stand will showcase the tourist attractions of Lake Tuusula and offer visitors the chance to get in the mood for the upcoming cycling season.

Järvenpää and Tuusula are revamping their joint Visit Tuusulanjärvi tourism brand and its visual identity. The revamp will be unveiled at the Matkamessut travel fair. At the same time, the look and content of the visittuusulanjarvi.fi website will also be updated. 

Culture and lake scenery 

Lake Tuusula is a well-known cultural landscape in Uusimaa and a key area in Finnish cultural history. There are several significant museums in the vicinity of the lake, such as Sibelius’ Ainola, Pekka Halonen’s artist’s home Halosenniemi, Villa Kokkonen designed by Alvar Aalto, the Kellokoski Ironworks Museum and the Lotta Museum, which showcases the voluntary work done by women. Sarvikallio is also one of the most famous scenic spots in the area. In addition, there are cafés, restaurants and accommodation services in the area.  

Local operators are welcome to bring their own brochures and materials to distribute at the Visit Tuusulanjärvi stand. 

Outdoor activities all year round 

The area around Lake Tuusula offers a wide range of outdoor activities. The lake is accessible during the winter season, when ice and weather conditions permit. At its best, the ice track has been up to seven kilometres long. The area also offers excellent skiing opportunities, for example in the Urka terrain, on the trails of the Tuusula Golf Club, and on the ski trails and ski lanes of Järvenpää.

In summer, the best way to explore the scenery around Lake Tuusulanjärvi is by bike. Visitors to the travel fair can also try cycling indoors, as the Visit Tuusulanjärvi stand offers the opportunity to take a short spin on an exercise bike. The exercise bikes for the fair are provided by Ole Fix Oy, based in Tuusula. 

Events around Lake Tuusula 

Events are held throughout the year in the Tuusulanjärvi area, both in Järvenpää and Tuusula. Järvenpää’s Aino Arena, Järvenpää House, Tuusula’s Monio and Krapin Paja offer concerts, performances and other public events. 

Annual events include Järvenpää Park Blues, Krapi Garden Party, Power Festival, Meidän Festival, Tuusula Arts Night and Children’s Museum Party. 

When it comes to lakes, this place has it all. Come and discover what Lake Tuusula has to offer at the Visit Tuusulanjärvi stand at the Travel Fair.
