Tampere Day weekend filled the city with culture, sports and open doors

The Tampere Day weekend was celebrated in a beautiful autumn atmosphere from 27 to 29 September with over a hundred events. Tampere's own celebration weekend attracted large crowds to events all over the city.

The Tampere Day programme offered something for everyone over the weekend. Visitors could enjoy culture, sports, open doors and guided tours. The events were organised not only by the City of Tampere, but also by local residents, organisations, municipalities and companies.

On Saturday 28 September, the Old City Hall opened its doors to the public. Guided tours introduced visitors to the history of the building, which was inaugurated in 1890, through its art and interior design. 

Tampere Day was also about skating, as the City of Tampere organised a public skating event at the Hakametsä Stadium on Saturday 28 September.

On Sunday, 29 September, the event visitors were given a tour of the Tammela stadium by the Ilves Association. The evening was crowned by the Ilves women's national league match Ilves–PK35 Vantaa, which was free of charge in honour of Tampere Day.
