Fireworks in the Ruka-Kuusamo region
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.
- FIS Ruka Nordic at the end of November: fireworks usually on Saturday at 19:00 (event organizer KEV)
As from winter 2025 onwards, there will no longer be fireworks organized by Ruka Ski Resort.
