The City’s joint fireworks are traditionally arranged on Samppalinnanmäki and for children in Kupittaanpuisto. Please remember what it means to party responsibly and that there is a prohibition area for fireworks in the city centre.
The City’s fireworks:
- For children at 18.00 in Kupittaanpuisto. We try to make sure that the fireworks let off in the area of the outdoor swimming pool are of a quieter type. The child’s ears can be protected with hearing protection.
- At midnight on Samppalinnanmäki. The best spots to follow the fireworks are along the river and in its proximity.
