Last year, the Families project run by North Savo Sports Federation operated in Joroinen. As part of the project, North Savo Sports Federation, together with local sports clubs and associations, organised a weekly Perheloikkis club. The activities got families moving in many different ways and received plenty of positive feedback.
Now the activity continues! Joroinen’s Perhepuuhis starts in the summer as a collaboration between local associations. This club, open and free of charge to all families with children, meets on Saturdays roughly every two weeks. Sport and physical activity remain at the heart of the activities, but there is plenty more on offer for the whole family.
Perhepuuhis’s upcoming family events:
PERHEPUUHIS 17 October 2026
Are your feet already itching to dance? On Saturday 17 October, Perhepuuhis will hold an Autumn Disco from 16:00 to 18:00. At this disco for the whole family, a DJ will play upbeat tunes. In addition to dancing, Perhepuuhis offers a chance to compete a little and test your skills on an obstacle course. Snacks and drinks can be bought from the lobby kiosk (card, cash, MobilePay). The event is for the whole family!

Perhepuuhis lead organiser:
Responsibility for running Perhepuuhis rotates between the different associations. However, the goal of the activity is the same for everyone: to bring families together, to increase families’ wellbeing, and to spread the Joroinen spirit. So don’t leave your child alone at Perhepuuhis – come together as a family. Young children are the responsibility of their parents at the events.
You can always recognise the Perhepuuhis leader by their welcoming smile and blue high-visibility vest, decorated on the back with the adorable Perhepuuhis bull.
