KIKUMU Winter
The upcoming winter will also see the addition of KIKUMU Winter!
From 20 to 21 February, a two-day festival will take place in Jäneda, which, in addition to music, also offers winter sports opportunities at Nelijärve and Valgehobusemäe. The first artists announced are the German tech house duo Booka Shade, the timeless Ajukaja and Mart Avi, the groovy, funky and free Gram-Of-Fun, the drum beats of Mava & Nebukat and the rebellious but melodic boipepperoni with his DJ set.
Kikumu Winter takes place at the Jäneda Training Center. During the day, you can enjoy the winter activities offered on both Nelijärv and Valgehobusemägi in the form of skiing, sledding, a winter safari or, for example, building disco snow balls. On Saturday, Kikumu creator Indrek Kasela will set up his ski school. In the evenings, you can show off with your wool socks and enjoy the best sounds in front of the study center’s stages. You can also rent a sauna at the Jäneda study center.

Location
At the heart of the festival — and one of its main attractions — is the Jäneda Training Centre, designed by renowned architect Valve Pormeister and built in 1975 as an extension to the historic Jäneda manor house. Originally a Soviet-era agricultural school, it stands as one of the most significant architectural works of its time, breathing and flowing in harmony with the surrounding natural landscape.
Right next to the festival site you’ll also find the main Jäneda manor house built in 1915, along with a tranquil pond and a lush manor park. A few minutes further lies Lake Kalijärv, complete with a sandy beach waiting for swimmers.
The main building of Jäneda Manor, completed in 1915, will also be opened for the festival for the first time. This is the place where the father of science fiction H.G. Wells, and Estonia’s own Mata Hari, the Jäneda Manor House Lady Mura, have spent their summers.
