About this event
Arja Koriseva, one of Finland's best-known iskelmä singers and a Tangomarkkinat champion, plays the city's Esplanade Park bandstand. Espan lava sits in the middle of Helsinki's main promenade, so the audience is a mix of deliberate fans on benches and passers-by who stop on the gravel — a very Finnish, very summer piece of free public programming.
Why we picked it
A household-name Finnish artist performing free in the centre of Helsinki during the priority week, on the city's own stage.
Free entry
All Espan lava events are free of charge and open to all ages, per the City of Helsinki.
