The Christmas Street Opening Ceremony Will Be Held on November 23 This Year

The Christmas Street opening ceremony was first held in 1949 and is one of Helsinki's oldest Christmas traditions. At that time, merchants near Aleksanterinkatu hoped to comfort Helsinki residents who were just emerging from the shadows of war with the Christmas Street lighting ceremony. It turned out that this ceremony indeed brought light and hope to everyone. The Christmas Street opening ceremony also symbolizes the official start of the Christmas season, attracting up to 50,000 people to watch almost every year. #Finland #Helsinki #StudyInFinland #LifeInFinland #HelsinkiTourism #LifeInHelsinki
