- Practical notes
- The programme takes place at Kontula-aukio and in Luuppi. The event runs for a long day, so families may prefer to choose the most child-relevant morning and afternoon parts. The detailed timetable for the later music programme is still being updated, and the organisers may make programme changes.
- Schedule notes
- At Kontula-aukio there is a children's performance at 9.00-10.00, repainting of the Kontula Sun street art piece from 12.00, a streamer decorating workshop at 12.00-14.00 and street dance in the afternoon. Luuppi has live music at 17.00-20.30.
- Booking notes
- The event is free, and no advance registration was mentioned in the sources.
- Age notes
- The event is an open cultural day for everyone. The children's performance and streamer decorating workshop are the clearest fit for families with children, while the evening music part may appeal more to school-age children, young people and adults.
