Moominvalley Park Harvest 2025

As the hot summer ends, autumn arrives, bringing with it the harvest season. For the Moomins, who love to eat pumpkins, apples, and other fruits, this is a brief respite before winter sets in. Along the path leading to the back of the park, the contrast between the clear blue autumn sky and the apple-themed balloon decorations will delight your eyes. Let's celebrate the autumn harvest with Moomintroll and his friends, themed "Memories of Moominpappa ."


※Last year's event

Date

27th February 2025(Saturday) - 26th May (Sunday)

The theme is "Memories of Moominpappa."

On the terrace overlooking the cove, Dad's friends from the story, "the Joxter," "Hodgkins," and "the Muddler," will appear. Decorated with decorations reminiscent of the autumn harvest festival, these characters not only serve as a photo spot but also as objects that invite you into the world of the story.


Autumn fruit decorations, mainly apples!

The lakeside path from Welcome Cove to the Moominvalley area is decorated with apple-themed balloon decorations. Photo spots and flower beds are also decorated with gorgeous autumn flowers and fruits. Take photos with large apples, or take a walk enjoying the colorful trees while feeling the autumn breeze. This is an event where you can experience the "Moomin monogatari, Ltd." just by walking.


It's even more magical at night, with fireworks over the lake!

In addition to the autumn decorations, the lighting has also been upgraded to an autumn theme. The trees are changing color as if the autumn leaves have begun to change color early, and apple-shaped balloons sparkle like jewels. In addition, the terrace, which recreates Moominpappa's memories, will feature each character lit up, creating a different atmosphere than during the day. The "Moominvalley Lakeside Fireworks Festival" will be held on weekends and holidays during the period, and you can also leisurely enjoy the illuminations within the park. Enjoy the fantastical art of light.
