To open the eyes and to see Umeälven is a privilege in the life. To walk through the surroundings of Vännäs and to have the possibility to find some people that you know and to say “ hej, tjena….. “, it’s easy life; living slowly and thinking, and thinking about the world. But…, the world is around you!

 

Many people receive some day an envelop with some invitation: “Spark fest” in winter or “Bicycle fest” in summer. A lot of work and taking care of many small details from  two couples that they had this lovely idea two years ago (Monica & Lasse, and Therese & Daniel). Do you want to know more about that? Of course, like 100 people in Vännäs can inform you; it will be a pleasure.

 

Filmstudio program (click here), Rock&Roll party, and more and more, is in Vännäs life.

 

But, not only everything is a party; Vännäs has some amazing activities like: “Vännäs mot rasism” or Second Hand – Tanzania project -.Human projects working for the love.                                                 

 

We are feeling very close to Umeå 2014, Cultural European City. The culture is our past, our present and our future. It will be a nice success if we are working together, like in Barcelona -92, the Olympic games. It was a special example about the participation of all the people and voluntaries.

 

Do you think that to live in Vännäs is boring? No, noway. When we are in this village, we can combine nature, friendly people, nice activities and places. It’s difficult to say but here you have only some suggestions :

 

• Nice shops.

 

• Slöjdarnas hus.

 

• Motormuseum.

 

• Vännäs Hotel and many activities in that place.

 

• Liljaskolan, one of the best in Sweden.

 

• Sky

 

• Car rallies, dog sledge competitions, etc…

We have had several visits from foreigners in Vännäs, and they have all really liked this village!
