About this event
Helsinki's Children's Book Festival opens at Annantalo with fanfares, storytelling and a walk through the exhibition that anchors the programme, plus something to eat and drink. It is the ceremonial start of a fortnight of book events across the city, and the kind of opening where children rather than sponsors are the intended audience.
Why we picked it
A free festival opening aimed squarely at families, with refreshments and a first look at the exhibition, in the middle of the priority stretch.
