Weekend programme
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 2024 the City of Tampere will celebrate its 245th anniversary, Tampereen päivä – Tampere Day from 27-29 September.
