Finland’s biggest multi-arts festival, Helsinki Festival, fills Helsinki with an exciting programme.

This major two-week event presents a wide range of events from classical music to pop and world music, from theatre to contemporary dance, and from the visual arts to cinema and children’s events. The iconic Huvila Festival Tent provides the venue for altogether 16 concerts throughout the festival, ranging from heavy metal to rap and mood music. There is also a range of free events to pick from the festival programme.

Related events include Art goes Kapakka, which brings urban culture from the streets to local bars and restaurants, as well as Night of the Arts on August 25, in which the arts and the public interact in the late summer night and surprising and unexpected ways.
