Rovaniemi Dinner with Fire Show and Santa Claus Experience

Make your own way to Arktikum, Pohjoisranta 4, one of Rovaniemi's best-known landmarks. Please arrive by your start time, 18:00. The evening begins outdoors on the snowy Arktikum square, so dress for the Arctic weather. There is no hotel pickup.

The evening starts with a live fire show in the snowy courtyard of Arktikum, under the Arctic sky. This is the first flame of the evening.

After the show, head inside for a warm welcome drink, which may vary by season, and a buffet of local Lapland food. A sample menu includes a salad buffet with smoked reindeer mousse, archipelago bread, smoked vendace or salmon, sautéed game with mashed potatoes and lingonberries, reindeer sausage, and blueberry pie with vanilla cream. Coffee or tea is included. Vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free dishes are marked. Alcoholic drinks are available to buy.

During dinner, the Circus Elves perform acrobatics, juggling and playful tricks around the dining room. The show happens between the tables, so you are part of it rather than watching from a distance.

Live musicians play traditional Finnish and Lappish folk tunes throughout the evening, the authentic sound of the North.

Santa Claus visits every table, and each party gets its own time with him for a photo. The evening ends with the last song, back at Arktikum where it began, about two hours after the start.
