Kannus in three videos: landscapes, KitinVapari and the local heritage day

Three official city videos: an aerial tour of Kannus, runner Anniina Kortetmaa introducing KitinVapari and the 2022 regional festival at Mäkiraonmäki.

The city describes this 16-minute film as an aerial introduction to Kannus: its plains, lakes, bogs, forest routes, villages and fields, followed by the centre, historic buildings and outdoor areas. That breadth makes it a useful first orientation, especially for understanding how the Lestijoki valley and scattered villages relate to the town. The soundtrack is by the local Vocalistit quartet. It is promotional and scenic rather than a route guide, so use current municipal maps for access, distances and trail conditions.

In this official city video, Finnish sprinter Anniina Kortetmaa introduces the KitinVapari swimming hall. The city’s description notes that the facility was named the 2022 water-sports venue of the year. This is a focused look at a practical indoor service rather than a general portrait of Kannus, and it helps show that the town’s visitor offer is not limited to heritage and river walks. The recording is from 2023; check KitinVapari’s current opening hours and activities before planning a swim.

This record documents the Central Ostrobothnia regional festival and Kannus Heritage Day held on 14 August 2022. The city’s description says the day began with a service in Kannus Church and moved a few hundred metres to the Mäkiraonmäki museum and cultural centre, tying the historic quarter to contemporary community life. It is a dated event film, not a promise that the same programme recurs each year. Check the city calendar for current exhibitions, café days and public events.
