driven past this on road 2 many many times..but never been to this festival or place...sorry...
But it looks interesting..
BTW; in Humpilla, there is a Iitaala glass shop where you can buy and see the glass blowing factory.. and at the same location next to the glass factory is a Show/sandals shop with pretty good collection and price...

The glass blowing factory is a good idea thanks and probably safe to show my daughter, now we don't have a gas cooker.

Well worth a visit... I was born long after steam trains disappeared so it must be a genetic thing - it seemed like every guy there (including me) became excited kids again at the sight of those steam trains and other assorted machines.
