THE FESTIVAL WEBSITE

Mannerheimintie renovation project

Mannerheimintie renovation project will begin on March 6th between the Postikatu and Runeberginkatu streets.

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.
