New Year's Eve in Levi — Celebrate in the Fells
New Year's Eve in a snowy fell landscape, fireworks across the sky and a warm sauna afterwards — few places in the world offer this combination.
New Year's Atmosphere in Levi
New Year's Eve in Levi is something truly special. A snowy fell landscape, frost, fireworks across the sky and a warm sauna afterwards — few places in the world offer this combination. Levi is a compact village, so everything happens within walking distance.
Fireworks
Levi's fireworks are traditionally launched from near the centre at midnight. The best viewing spots are the front slope area (Zero Point) or Hullu Poro's terrace. Be prepared for cold — temperatures can be harsh at night.
The exact location and timing of fireworks are confirmed annually. Check current information from Levi tourist info.
Celebrating at Restaurants
Many Levi restaurants organise New Year's Eve dinners and parties. Options include gala dinners, themed evenings and à la carte menus. Book your table well in advance — popular restaurants fill up weeks before.
Tip: if you prefer to cook yourself, Levi's shops are well-stocked for a festive dinner. Cooking at home in your cabin or apartment is an atmospheric alternative.
Bars and Nightlife
On New Year's Eve, Levi's bars are full of atmosphere. Hullu Poro Arena, Ihku and other venues have programmes and stay open late. Note the age limits (18+, nightclubs often 20+).
Families and New Year's
With children, New Year's can be peaceful too — your own sauna, good food and watching the fireworks from the yard or balcony. Don't take small children out into the frost at midnight — you can see the fireworks from the window too.
