Activities
Events
We help event organizers adapt their ideas to the outdoor environment, and encourage the appreciation of urban green spaces. Guest facilities are constructed using upcycled materials found on-site as much as practically possible. Some of the more functional accomplishments include a treehouse terrace, an outdoor kitchen/bar, a pier, dry shelters, footpaths, bike stands, swings, and barbecues.
The capacity of the space is 550 people. There are 2 sound stages, and soundsystems are always aimed in the direction of the busy harbor, ensuring that we avoid any noise complaints from our other distant neighbors.
Sauna
The sauna is at the heart of our community, and is available in all seasons. Like the territory, it has been rehabilitated from near-collapse with recycled materials and volunteer efforts.
Today its steam (löyly) has earned impeccable praise from countless Finnish and Latvian sauna enthusiasts. Up to 10 people can comfortably sweat on 2 levels of wide benches. In terms of functionality and comfort, the sauna lacks nothing. However there is plenty of room for improvement regarding insulation, energy efficiency, and DIY aesthetics.
Camping
During the summer, Fukušima hosts foreign campers in tents, hammocks, and vans. It is the only official campsite in the city centre, that does not look like a parking lot.
Our Airbnb listings consistently earn high ratings and inspired feedback from people who are grateful that such a space exists in Rīga, often comparing it to similar post-industrial cultural spots in other cities.
Workshops
Other activities involve workshops, book fairs, educational seminars, foraging, documentaries, upcycling and DIY constructions, peer to peer skills sharing, environmental stewardship. See our partnerships & collaborations for details.
