Puistofiesta, an outdoor event for the whole family, filled Hämeenpuisto Boulevard with activities and a fun programme on Sunday 2 August 2026.
Programme
Noora Louhimo Duo
Noora Louhimo has captivated audiences around the world with her big voice, breathtaking charisma and world-class live performances. The versatile singer’s musical roots reach back to the smoky blues bars of New Orleans, the country saloons of Nashville and even soul music. Through her solo production, Louhimo takes the audience on a journey towards her musical roots and the extremity of her amazing vocal range! In addition to Louhimo’s own material, the audience is treated with songs familiar from the Tähdet Tähdet TV-show!
Miljoonasade Duo
Miljoonasade Duo, formed by Heikki Salo and Tomi Aholainen, is shaking things up. The band reworks the best of their familiar Finnish rock repertoire and Heikki’s solo material into a fresh listening experience. Tomi Aholainen doesn’t just accompany; he performs—that’s how listeners described the duo’s early gigs. He may even perform his own compositions as a solo act, such as the mega-hit “Sun särkyä anna mä en,” recorded by Johanna Kurkela. Heikki Salo is a storyteller, and this becomes clear not only from the song lyrics but also from the interludes during the concert, which are given plenty of space. Miljoonasade Duo—stories, music, stories!
Siina & Taikaradio Duo
Taikaradio is ready to set off on a journey. The duo from the Siina & Taikaradio Orchestra invites the whole family on a fun musical adventure. Everyone is welcome to join in the singing and games!
We need everyone’s singing help to make this journey possible. What kind of musical adventure awaits us and who will we meet on this fast-paced journey? The Taikaradio Orchestra duo’s warm and inspiring acoustic music brightens listeners’ days with the melodies of both traditional favourites and newer sing-along songs!
The children’s music orchestra Siina & Taikaradio has been performing throughout Finland for over 18 years. Siina is a trained early childhood music teacher and is also familiar to families with children from children’s television programmes and YouTube. The Siina & Taikaradio orchestra received the 2020 Children’s Music Ensemble of the Year Award.
Nina Kaitaranta
Singer-songwriter Nina Kaitaranta from Tampere has been described as the new wave of “Manserock.” Her songs combine distinctive, down-to-earth lyrics with guitar-driven grooves and dynamic band arrangements. Familiar scenery from Tampere features strongly in tracks such as Aamu Tammelassa and Lennosta kii, which takes listeners on a journey from Petsamo to Kauppi.
A year ago, Kaitaranta released her second full-length album Ullakolla, which the Finnish music magazine Soundi described as refreshingly unconventional. The single Kieltäydyn juhlista reached 12th place in Radio 957’s “Manse Song of the Year” competition. Having performed as a support act for Maija Vilkkumaa, Pauli Hanhiniemiand Scandinavian Music Group, Kaitaranta has been actively touring since 2019.
Mentalist Jenni Sofia
Mentalist Jenni Sofia, who has also charmed audiences on Talent Suomi (Finland’s Got Talent), is one of Finland’s two female mentalists. Jenni Sofia has garnered attention for both her skills and her personality, and her passion is to provide the audience with memorable experiences.
The mentalism show “The Woman You Can’t Get Out of Your Mind!” is an amazing, entertaining and thought-provoking journey into the secrets of the mind. The interaction between the performer and the audience ensures that every performance is a unique experience. The show features psychological mind magic that creates an experience of prediction, mind reading and other seemingly impossible phenomena.
Welcome to a journey where the only limitations are in your own mind! This is a show where the impossible becomes possible!
Simo Frangén
Simo Frangén has written 30 books alone or together with others, executed about 1800 radio programs and approximately 500 TV programs.
Frangén has been awarded the Venla award, two Telvis-awards and three TV Personality of the Year trophies. He has been chosen the “Tampere Person of the Year” three times, after which he was excluded as too superior
