The most visited music and arts festival in Finland will return to Helsinki at the end of August, turning the Finnish capital into an enormous cultural centre. From August 20th to September 5th, every visitor will be able to find a show that satisfies their musical palate with an exciting programme offering concerts, art exhibitions, circus acts and other entertainment throughout the city, all day long.
For two whole weeks Helsinki will be in effervescence, putting the city on the international cultural map. Approximately thirty buildings (theatres, cultural centres, churches, galleries and even restaurants) will host a series of artistic events and shows, attracting a crowd of more than 300,000 every year.
From 1968 until now, the festival has retained a sense of openness and eclecticism that is clearly reflected in the variety in its programme. The festival’s classical music concerts are worth noting, as well as the way Helsinki honours artists not only in Finland but all over the world.
This festival has provided a fantastic day out all year, and this year will be no exception.
