Tampere Day

Tampere's anniversary will be celebrated with the beloved Tampere Day weekend on 3-5 October 2025, when the city turned 246 years old.

We will announce a call for side events in August 2025 - stay tuned!

Tampere was established on 1 October 1779 by Gustav III, the King of Sweden. Tampere celebrates this occasion every year on the first of October and the closest weekend to that date. Events of the day are organised by the city and by numerous third sector actors.

In 2025 the city of Tampere will celebrate its 246th anniversary, Tampereen päivä – Tampere Day, from 3 to 5 October. Welcome to join the celebrations!
