Summer cinema
Nyystölä Summer Cinema brings the people of Padasjoki together around films on warm summer evenings. All screenings are free and open to everyone. The screen is raised in the wonderful setting of Padasjoki Summer Theatre, and the projector starts once the sun has dropped low enough. There's always a great canteen on site with tasty snacks to enjoy during the film. Seating is unnumbered. The event is organised jointly by Padasjoki Library, the Nyystölä Village Association and Padasjoki Amateur Theatre, and is funded through a key project of the Municipality of Padasjoki. Come and enjoy a film under the open sky!
