Old-style yard party

Kristianinkatu 12, 00170 Helsinki
Burgher's House

Travel back in time to 19th century Helsinki at the Burgher's House Museum on Saturday 27 May.

At this all-ages event, Keppimiehet will perform historic male gymnastics, the sleeping chamber will house a lacemaking session, and there will be a buffet organised by the Martha Organisation selling traditional pastries that will bring the past alive for your taste buds as well. In the sleeping chamber, you can also try drawing in the style of the 19th century. You can look forward to long skirts whirling on the cobblestones and traditional melodies played by a barrel organ player and the accordion band Hattuleidit completing the atmosphere. Free entry!
