On summer Fridays, the Espa Stage will present different military band ensembles across Finland.

Finnish Military Bands, the Conscript Band of the Finnish Defence Forces and the conscript bands of different military bands in different compositions will take their turns on the Espa Stage on summer Fridays at 14:00.

The music will range from jazz to popular music and everything in-between! The concerts will feature entertaining performances spanning a wide variety of musical styles.

The MIL-Espa concert is often preceded by a guard parade starting from the Senate Square at 12:30.

MIL-Espa park concerts have been organised at the Esplanadi Park since 1927.
