Accessibility
Helsinki Service Map describes the route to Stoa's main entrance as guided, smooth and wide enough, and the main door as automatic. Stoa has an accessible toilet on the same floor. This event also spreads across the square, workshop points and the music hall, so weather, crowds, queues and room layouts may affect moving with prams or mobility aids.

Practical notes
The programme is spread between Stoa Square and Stoa's music hall. The square workshops are listed for 17:00-20:00, and the event page says the rest of the programme will be updated during the summer.
Schedule notes
Elojuhla starts at 16:00. The clearly listed family programme runs until 20:00: workshops are 17:00-20:00, and Niitty performances are at 17:00 and 18:00, about 30 minutes each. The end time for the whole festival evening has not been announced.
Booking notes
The square programme is free to attend. Free tickets for the Niitty performances are handed out in Stoa's lobby from 16:00, so collect tickets early if the performance is the main reason for going.
Age notes
Elojuhla includes programme suitable for families. The Niitty performance is recommended for ages 4 and up, and some workshops may need adult help or waiting time with younger children.
