Welcome to Summer Services in Kauhava 2026

The Summer Services 2026 will be held in Kauhava on June 26–29, 2026. The motto, “Lord, it is good for us to be here,” warmly invites you as well to take part, either in person at Kauhava Airport or through the various media channels. Our hope is that every visitor will feel part of this great festival community and be able to share in the joy and unique atmosphere of the Summer Services together with others.

The Summer Services is a spiritual summer event. The organizers are expecting approximately 84,000 visitors on site, and all necessary services have been arranged for them within the event area. The venue will be Kauhava Airport and its surrounding areas, as was the case in summer 2023. Responsibility for organizing the event lies with the Ylivieska Association of Peace, together with the Associations of Peace of Alavieska, Merijärvi, Oulainen, Kalajoki, Mehtäkylä, Rautio, Sievi, Sievi Station Area, Kiiskilä, Kannus, as well as Toholampi and Lestijärvi.

Our prayer is that every guest may come to the Summer Services with a sense of safety and personally experience, in the presence of the forgiving gospel, the truth of these words: “Lord, it is good for us to be here.” (Matthew 17:4)

We would like to thank all our partners for the smooth and successful cooperation.

We warmly welcome you to the Summer Services in Kauhava.
