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 2022 the City of Tampere celebrated its 243rd anniversary, Tampereen päivä – Tampere Day from 30 September to 2 October. Thank you for joining the celebrations!
