A wooden dance floor has been built on the pedestrian street section of Korkeavuorenkatu. Located in front of the Design Museum, the dance floor is intended for organising various events involving physical activities, such as dance and yoga practice, or children’s events.
The dance floor is part of the summer streets experiment in the heart of Helsinki. The aim of the summer streets is to make the streets more pleasant and attractive and to improve the variety of services.
For the time being, the summer streets dance floor is available for residents to book until the end of August. The dance floor can be booked from Monday to Sunday between 9.00 and 21.00. It can be booked for a maximum of six hours at a time and used free of charge. The use of sound systems must be stopped by 21.00 at the latest. You can book the dance floor through Varaamo at varaamo.hel.fi/ by entering “Kesäkatujen tanssilava” (Summer streets dance floor) in the search field.
