The Night Barbecue Tickets
The Night Barbecue offers an authentic taste of Lapland's wilderness traditions, combining local cuisine with the chance to spot the Northern Lights. You'll join a small group around a crackling fire in Rovaniemi's pristine countryside, where a licensed guide prepares traditional barbecue over open flames whilst sharing local stories and folklore.
This 3.5-hour experience includes pickup and drop-off, plus all the comfort you need for a cold Lapland evening. Your guide prepares freshly grilled regional dishes that showcase authentic Lapland flavours, accompanied by hot drinks to keep you warm. The remote location offers clear skies perfect for stargazing and possible Aurora Borealis sightings, though Northern Lights cannot be guaranteed due to weather and solar activity.

- Small group setting with licensed guide sharing local tales and traditions

Plan Your Visit to The Night Barbecue
The experience runs for approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes including transport. Arrive at your pickup point at least 10 minutes before departure time. Dress warmly in winter layers, though thermal overalls and winter boots can be rented onsite for an additional fee.
The evening works best during Rovaniemi's winter months when darkness falls early and Northern Lights activity peaks. Your guide handles all logistics, allowing you to focus on the experience. If you're planning other winter activities, consider combining this with a reindeer farm visit or husky safari to make the most of your Arctic adventure.
Follow your guide's safety instructions and respect the natural environment by not leaving any litter. The remote location provides the perfect escape from Rovaniemi's town centre, offering genuine wilderness atmosphere just a short drive away.
