Following the huge success of ZOO ’22, get ready for the next episode – the long awaited ZOO 2024!

ZOO has been the main event for the Nordic C64 Scene for many years now and we will not lift our foot from the pedal but quite the opposite, it’s now full throttle to make ZOO 2024 the best there has ever been.

With pedant Finnish mentality we put our hands on every detail to make it an experience you should not miss in any circumstance: Compos, beer, food, bar, grill, games, sauna, stream, rooms for accommodation, spoken program, live music, massive sound system, grandstand and jolly atmosphere.

Anything else needed for a perfect weekend?

What you can do now, is to make room in your calendar for 1-3 of November and start planning your trip to Finland. Keep yourself posted for more information to come! Note that Hotel Sointula rooms are at the moment fully pre-booked for Zoo. You can’t reserve them yet, but they will be available for booking later on.
