Viitasaari Attractions
E 75 stretches via Konginkangas (off the road to the right) to Viitasaari, on an island at the north end of the long and much ramified Lake Keitele. To the north of the village, which is reached on a causeway, is a lookout tower. Pleasant boat trips on the lake; good fishing. A Festival of New Music (part of the Finland Festival) is held at Viitasaari in summer.
Time of Music
The Time of Music International festival runs for one week in early July and is considered one of Finland's major festivals.
A central component of the festival is computer music, although other contemporary forms of music are also featured. Musicians from all over the world perform throughout the week.
