PROGRAMME FOR THE WEEKEND

The Old Great Square’s Christmas 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 and circus performances. And of course, there’s also Santa Claus in his Workshop!

Santa’s Workshop can be found at the Old Great Square (Vanha Suurtori), at the corner of the Old Town Hall (Vanha Raatihuone) and Brinkkala Mansion, 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.
