Turku day

TURKU DAY AND FIREWORKS THIS SUNDAY!

The traditional Turku Day will be celebrated again on Sunday the September 19th. During this day, Turku is offering many possibilities to explore the city. The programme for Turku Day goes on from the morning until the evening. Many shops in the center will be open, museums and art centers offer special programme, there are markets, performances, concerts, guided tours, etc.

Some examples about what’s happening on Turku Day:

- Turku Castle (Linnankatu 80). A ”Closed doors” -guided tour (in finnish) to sneak a peek at the parts of the castle that are normally closed from the public at 11:00, 12:15, 14:00 and 16:30.

- Free concert in Vähätori (Between the Cathedral and Brahenkatu),pop/rock/jazz from 13.00 till 18.00
-Special market  / flea market "Heikinmarkkinat" at the market square from 10:00 to 18:00.

- Free entrance from 11:00 –12:00 to the Sibelius Museum (Piispankatu 17, close to the Cathedral)

- A classical music concert in the Sibelius Museum at 14:00, tickets 4€ for students

- Turku Days,'s concert in Old City hall (Vanha Suurtori 5) at 16.00, music with violin,mandoline,guitar and flute, free entrance

The day will culminate with fireworks at the Samppalinna hill at 21:00!

The idea is to get together before the fireworks and head to the best viewing spot in front of the Pharmacy Museum by the river Aura. The whole Turku will be there to watch the fireworks and that's why latecomers miss the best spots!. So, let's meet in front of the Turku Cathedral a bit before 20:30 and leave for the fireworks at 20:30! If you come late, just head for the Pharmacy Museum, which is the old red wooden building opposite the riverboats.

WHAT? Fireworks on Turku Day
WHEN? Sunday 20 September, meeting at 8.30 pm sharp

Remember to wrap up in warm clothes!!

Hope to see many of you on Sunday,

with love
