Some dogs are scared of noise, which is why we have compiled a list of fireworks events organised in the Ruka-Kuusamo region (responsible organizer in parentheses). If you are already aware of your pet's fear of fireworks, remember to bring any necessary medications with you.
As from winter 2025 onwards, there will no longer be fireworks organized by Ruka Ski Resort.
