Park meals
The city of Tampere’s popular park meal will continue in the summer 2023. This year, the park meal events will take place from 5.6.–27.7.2023
The park meals and activities are intended for children and young people under 16 years of age. The park meals are from Mondays to Thursdays between 11:00 and 13:00. During the first hour, guided activities such as exercise, crafts, games, play or music will be organized. The actual meal begins at 12 noon, offering a free meal for children and young people.
The meals are open to everyone and there is no need to register in advance. We hope that those who come for the park meals bring their own dishes with them. In this way we can contribute to sustainable development.
The food is prepared by Pirkanmaan Voimia. Park meals have a vegetarian day once a week. Unfortunately, we cannot promise a fully vegan option for these vegetarian days. See the menu on their website (in Finnish): eRuokalista
Address: Tehdaskartanonkatu 38

The Spraycankontrol street art park features graffiti and murals from more than 200 artists from more than 20 countries and four continents. The works of art in the area cover around 3,000 m2, which makes it the largest graffiti and street art park in Finland.
