About this service
Ilmaistapahtumat.fi brings together free events from across Finland in one easy-to-use service. The service shows only events with free admission: concerts, exhibitions, sports events, family events and much more.
Event information is provided by the organizers. Always check the time and free admission on the organizer's own website.
Where does the event data come from?
Event data is fetched from the open APIs of cities and regions. The data updates automatically several times a day.
- City of Helsinki (Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Helmet libraries)
- Luckan (Ostrobothnia)
- Satakunta Events (Pori and Satakunta)
- Keski-Suomi Events (Jyväskylä and Central Finland)
Event data is licensed to us under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0, and the sources are listed above. We merge, modify and categorize the data, so entries do not match the original records. The service's own content, meaning the compilation, selection and arrangement of events, the texts and the code, belongs to Home Team Games, and all rights are reserved. See the terms of use.
Event descriptions are shown in English when the organizer has provided one; otherwise the original Finnish or Swedish text is shown.
The service also publishes events added by users, which are reviewed before publication. You can add your own event using the event submission form.
How events are selected
The same event often appears in several APIs. The Helsinki, Espoo and Helmet library feeds repeat many of the same events, so we merge them into a single entry based on name, time and place.
We list only events that the source has marked as free. That marking can be wrong, and in some cases the description mentions an admission fee. Always check the price on the organizer's own website.
Municipality names are folded into a single form, so Helsingfors is Helsinki. The list of locations follows the official municipal division, so districts and abolished municipalities do not appear in it as separate places.
Events refresh hourly, straight from the source APIs.
The Turku API is no longer in service, and the successor service in Tampere is paid. That is why these cities are not included.
