Tampere Residents' Evenings are informal events where residents, local associations and the city come together to meet, exchange ideas and engage in discussion.

You are warmly welcome to join us just as you are! The event is suitable for all ages, and younger family members are welcome too, with activities available for children. You can drop in for a short visit or stay for the whole evening. Admission is free of charge.

At the Tesoma Residents' Evening, you will have the opportunity to meet Deputy Mayor Ilkka Porttikivi, who will share the latest news from the city. You will also hear about the Tesoma District Development Programme and have the chance to comment on its measures, which are being carried out jointly by the city, local organisations and residents. These and many other current topics will be open for discussion throughout the evening.

The event will also feature numerous local associations, city services and other organisations. At their information stands, you can share your views on a range of topics as well as take part in activities such as exercise sessions, creating art and responding to a short interview.

In addition to Finnish, discussions with city representatives can also be held in English.

Throughout the evening, the children's magician Paspartuu will be making balloon figures for children. At 6 pm, he will perform a magic show that is sure to captivate both children and adults alike.
