Tampere’s birthday will be celebrated from 1 to 4 October 2026 with a variety of events across the city. This year, Tampere is celebrating its 247th anniversary.
Let’s organise celebrations together that will fill the city centre with people, joy and urban culture. Plan and carry out a memorable experience for the Tampere Day weekend that will delight the whole city. You could, for example, open the doors of your business or organisation, delight visitors with performances or guided tours, or offer taster sessions for different activities. The style is up to you – the most important thing is that you join in the festivities!
