2–3 Dec 2023

The Christmas Market offers lots of things to see and do for the whole family. The Old Great Square fills with high quality handicrafts, Christmassy delicacies and various music, theatre and circus performances. And of course, there’s also Santa Claus and his family!

Santa’s Workshop can be found at Vanha Suurtori, at the corner of the Old Town Hall (Vanha Raatihuone) and Brinkkala House, near the famous Christmas Peace Declaration balcony.

In addition, you can enjoy the lovely winter weather with a cup of warm juice or play the Christmassy Wheel of Fortune.

You can find a map of the Christmas Market here

NOTE! The event will not be streamed online, and it will not be available online anywhere to watch. So don’t put your card information in any link that claims to show streams of the event. The only way to see the events is onsite.
