Businesses <3 Espoo Day
Espoo’s largest city event, Espoo Day, is getting a fresh twist in 2024 by inviting businesses to join in with their own activities. Espoo Day takes place on the last weekend of August, allowing for a variety of content to be featured. On Friday, August 30th, activities requiring participant fees can be registered as part of the Espoo Day program, while Saturday, August 31st, will be full of entirely free events. Espoo Day has become a joyous celebration for the whole Espoo and it encourages both residents and visitors to discover new experiences and services within their local neighborhoods and also across the whole city. Espoo Day provides a fantastic opportunity to capture the attention of city residents by showcasing companies and organizations from a new perspective in honor of the city’s special day.
Where to start?
- Espoo Day is a city-wide celebration, so the content should be something out of the ordinary.
- Campaigns, open house events, themed products (Espoo Day pastry, discounts on coffee or services, etc.), carnival atmosphere, and special products or services are all great additions to the program.
- Collaborate with other local organizations in the area.
We’re hosting open “Ask About Espoo Day” sessions on Teams for all participating in Espoo Day on the following dates:
- If your company organizes free activities, you can register them for either Friday, August 30th, or Saturday, August 31st.
- If a company organizes an event with an entrance fee, it should be included in Friday’s program. Espoo Day campaigns can run throughout the week, from Monday, August 26th to Saturday, August 31st.
- All event-related content will be included in Espoo Day’s two-day event calendar. Other content, such as campaigns, will be compiled into a separate program section on the Espoo Day website.
- You can register your own event through the Visit Espoo website here. Espoo Day campaigns can be registered here. You can ask for help and additional information for planning your own content by contacting the Espoo Day team at espoo.paiva@espoo.fi.
- After you have registered your program, you will receive Espoo Day marketing materials. The Espoo Day team communicates and markets the overall Espoo Day program, and each organizer promotes their own event through their own channels.
- All participating companies will receive an Espoo Day sticker and poster template to be displayed in a window or other visible location, signaling their participation in Espoo Day.
