Pienten Helsinki
Christmas Events in Helsinki and the Surrounding Area
Little Helsinki is gradually preparing for Christmas and listing upcoming festive season events and tips for families looking to experience Christmas traditions with their children. The list mainly features events in Helsinki, but also includes some gems from further afield. Traditional Christmas events and new discoveries take over the city well in advance starting from November. The event listing is updated, so you can suggest your own event (mari ( a ) pientenhelsinki.fi). It's also possible to book highly targeted advertising space through Little Helsinki – ask for more information!
If you'd like to copy the listing to your own website, please contact Little Helsinki's management first.
