About
Helsinki Festival is the city's big late-summer arts festival, bringing top international artists in music, theater, dance and visual arts to indoor stages and outdoor spots around Helsinki. In 2026, the Night of the Arts featured a parade of giant giraffes. Much of the program is concerts, opera and theater for a general audience, so it suits school-age kids and teens who can sit through a show.
