Children’s Frost Days bring joy once again
In the middle of winter, the traditional Children’s Frost Days will once again be celebrated from January 19 to 25.
In Kuopio, you can go on a museum adventure at KUMMA, where the adventure is included in the museum admission fee, and children under 18 get in for free. During the Frost Days, you can also spend time at Lego afternoons at the Kuopio Main Library or participate in Kantti-Karhu’s story times. Kino Kuvakukko and Pyörö School will host Pulpettikino screenings during the Frost Days. On January 22 the Kuopio Music Center will host Mimmit and Puhuri, a musical fairy tale about the son of frost, which is full of energy and excitement. In the musical fairy tale, someone tries to prevent the arrival of winter, and Puhuri is haunted by a great secret. Perhaps winter can still be saved.
