Every year in August there is a Art Night Exhibition organized in Helsinki. This was already the 12th time it was organized in the city. They have all kinds of smaller and bigger events around the city and it's free. You can watch/listen to people read out their love poems in public, sing some songs or go to museums with some specail exhibition. Just before midnight the main event takes place in the central square where they this year had massive flying sea animals (sounds weird yes, but check the pictures) and then a lot of fireworks.
When Helsinki has a bigger event like this there are ALWAYS a lot of drinking teenagers and the streets covered in crap, bottles and pee. Foreigners get a really nice and positive image of us when they see drunken 13 year old kids in the street. But enough with the negative stuff! The show was great and one of my favourite was the Paper Kingdom where everything was made out of cardboard :)
