This year’s theme is “The Power of Hot and Cold” — that is, pairing a hot steam with an icy dip in a lake or the sea. New events include the Sauna and Wellness market at the stylish harbourfront Sataman Viilu complex. The market will offer a range of experiences, products and different pop-up saunas, while learning more about the true Finnish sauna experience and business through match-making events. One of the most popular highlights is the authentic Finnish sauna evening held at the picturesque Savutuvan Apaja on Friday, the evening before National Finnish Sauna Day (June 8).
A top range of speakers will present on June 6, including this year’s dynamic headliner Jasper Pääkkönen, one of Finland’s leading sauna ambassadors and entrepreneurs, a Hollywood actor and an environmental advocate. Pääkkönen is the owner and co-founder of Löyly, one of Helsinki’s most popular sauna complexes, which takes its name from the Finnish word for the steam that rises when water is ladled over a sauna stove’s rocks. Stay tuned as the World Sauna Forum reveals even more fabulous and noteworthy speakers in the upcoming weeks.
