Museum Leikki's Time Travel Odyssey 1950 exhibition gets its own Espoo Day celebration. Families can follow the stage programme, try Rockabilly Jive without previous dance experience or a partner, join limbo, and make a future city and paper dolls in the workshops. The day also includes an Elvis show, a 1950s fashion show, a paper-doll hunt, a vintage market, and 1950s American cars to see.
