Now it’s one celebration after another. There’s plenty to do for children and young people, but also for all ages, and all around our city. Check below for what interests you the most and join in. You might just have a great time!
Unfortunately our events calendar is only in Finnish, but there are many events throughout the city you can participate in.
It might be that a 250th anniversary happens only once. That’s why we’re celebrating Kuopio, founded in 1775, properly—throughout the entire year. To make the anniversary visible in the city’s streets, neighborhoods, and rural landscapes, various events and content are needed to elevate the mood beyond everyday life. At the same time, the involvement and sense of community among the people of Kuopio will be strengthened.
Here are our goals for Kuopio’s 250th anniversary year. We want the anniversary year to be felt now, but we also aim to leave behind something tangible and lasting that future generations can experience. That’s why children and young people are a special focus of the anniversary year program. They represent Kuopio’s future as well.
