Finnish Pavilion Kirnu

9:30–22:30

Finnish artists share insights into performing arts and creative thinking at Kirnu, with performances of dance, song, circus, street shows and different musical instruments. During May and June, your guides are Northern Savonia’s creative arts development project SARKA and the Kotka-Hamina area’s development company CURSOR. Both are sending four innovative culture professionals to perform for one month. The project was founded in co-operation with local companies and organizations, Partanen & Lamusuo Partnership and Finpro.

In addition, Helsinki will host a series of club nights reflecting the city’s vibrant music scene. The jazz, metal and electronic clubs will take place in association with the events of Finland Day on the 27th May in various venues across the city. The Helsinki Nights clubs Helsinki Jazz, Helfest & Hel YES take place 26th -27th May.
