The event ends latest at 20.
*Puistojortsut is a gentle and playful moment of shared dancing under the open sky – no instructions, no choreography, just music, grass, and bodies slowly tuning into movement, almost by accident. No one looks at you strangely – come as you are, sway, leap, or sigh: every way of being is welcome.
Welcome!
