The Night of the Arts will NOT be organized in 2020 due to exceptional circumstances restrictions.

To Helsinki's Night of the Arts with Children

The Night of the Arts events take over Helsinki on Thursday, August 15, 2019, marking Helsinki's 30th anniversary celebration. Pienten Helsinki (Little Helsinki) has gathered its own favorites for families heading to Helsinki's Night of the Arts for children. The program includes fascinating experiences, robots, play, music, and all kinds of children's culture.
The complete program for this classic event can be found on the Helsinki Festival Weeks website, and you can also browse the Night of the Arts program specifically for child-friendly events. Admission to all events is free unless otherwise stated. On the Night of the Arts, admission to many of Helsinki's museums is also free.

Helsinki Festival Weeks has also created a ready-made route plan for the Night of the Arts children's events. Check out the route or create your own!

Note that this article does NOT include all child-friendly Night of the Arts events, but instead consists of highlights selected by Pienten Helsinki for the event day, targeted at preschool-aged children and families with children.
