Children's Pirkkaset - Children's Culture Month

Registration for events during the 2026 Children's Pirkkaset Culture Month is opening 

Children’s Pirkkaset Culture Month is a joint children's culture festival organized by the municipalities of Pirkanmaa, held annually in February. We invite everyone to participate in organizing events as part of this joint celebration. You can register your own event to Tampere’s Event calendar during 1.-31.12.2025.

You can announce events aimed at children aged 0–12 and their families. These may include, for example, large or small performances, family days, workshops, courses, and exhibitions. Events submitted by the deadline will be included in Pirkkaset program, which will be published on 15.1.2026 on the website www.lastenpirkkaset.fi. Participation in the monthly program is free of charge. Welcome! Feel free to share the invitation.

The theme for 2026 is "I can be seen, I can be heard!" The aim of the theme is to highlight kindness, empathy, and children's art.
