The City of Helsinki is inviting Helsinki residents to participate in the Kaivopuisto raking event on Sunday 30 October 2022 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
On the last Sunday in October, the traditional raking event will take place in Kaivopuisto, where all residents are welcome to come and rake leaves. The volunteers will gather from 11 a.m. near Kaivohuone square, which will be the starting point of the event.
Volunteers will receive on-site guidance and instructions. The city will provide the tools but you should bring your own gloves. There will be snacks and hot drinks for the first 150 volunteers.
Equipment distribution and snack tents will be located on the south-west side of Kaivohuone.
In store are the joy of raking and the spirit of working together. The communal raking of Kaivopuisto is a decades-old tradition in the city of Helsinki. The event is organised cooperatively between the Urban Environment Division and Stara. Come and join us!
The city also regularly organises other voluntary events. Read about volunteering activities on the Volunteering page(Link leads to external service).
