Hey Skinnarila! We’re getting ready for one of the last parties of the year as LTKY hosts its annual Christmas party at Las Palmas on December 8th. The night will continue after your guild’s possible Christmas party wraps up, and it’s time to hit the dance floor. This is something you don’t want to miss!  

The party crowd will be rocking out to Returnal, the metal band familiar from Sauna Night! Accompanied by a female vocalist, they’ll entertain us with a heavier set featuring Christmas metal classics and well-known party hits with a metal twist. Later in the evening, DJ Igi will take over the stage!

LTKY’s last party of the year is all about the Christmas vibe. So, this time, leave your overalls at home and dress up in the “corporate Christmas party” theme, so hokinait. Bring your friends and join the fun one more time this year. Buses from Palmas to Skinnarila at 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00.
