Description

This summer the Minkiö Steam Festival turns 10 years. It alla started on 31.7. 2005 with a one day Minkiö Steam Festival. The Festival was immediately a success and already the next year it was decided to make the Festival weekend long. There have been more than 30 000 visitors to the Minkiö Steam Festival in past ten years and hundreds of volunteers have been working long days to make it true every year.

Come along also this year to celebrate, see and experience the power of steam! The best steam festival of Finnish summer will be at Jokioinen Museum Railway also in summer 2015.

At the festival of 2015 there will be more agricultural machines present. The idea of festival is to show which kind of machines were used on Finnish farms and construction sites decades before the modern day air-conditioned diesel tractors - and even before electricity.

The festival gates are open both on Saturday and Sunday. Three steam trains are in traffic between Jokioinen and Humppila. At Minkiö festival area there is also a small festival train running. Steam-powered agricultural machines, steam rollers, tractors, vintage cars and miniature steam engines will operate and be on display. All the steam locomotives of Jokioinen Museum Railway will be running on the festival weekend.

info• If You want to come and bring your engine on display, please contact us.
• Only day tickets are sold on festival weekend. The prices are 16 euros (adults) and 8 euros (chidren). The tickets are sold at festival gates. Tickets are valid for single-day entrance in festival area and on museum trains.
• Festival home sites in www.hoyryfestivaali.fi

There is a free museum buss service running from Forssa to Jokioinen Railway station on both days. You can find the bus timetable over here!
