Helsinki Harp Festival

Welcome to the 2nd Helsinki Harp Festival 2023! Our wonderful festival is located in the Helsinki Music Centre, in the heart of Helsinki 31.8.-3.9.2023. May the harp be with you!

Mannerheimintie renovation project

Access to the Musiikkitalo from the direction of Mannerheimintie will be difficult. We recommend that you allow enough time for your arrival and use the entrance on the side of Kansalaistori if possible. According to current information, the entrance to Mannerheimintie will also remain in use throughout the renovation, but pedestrian routes can be challenging at times.

We recommend following the official information channels of the renovation project, where you can find the most up-to-date information.
