Mini Tattoo 2026

Senate Square, Helsinki

See you at the Mini Tattoo!

The Hamina Tattoo can be seen and heard in our capital too, on Monday 27 July at 12:00. Come and enjoy the very best of Hamina’s march shows in advance at the Mini Tattoo held on Senate Square.

The first Mini Tattoo was held in Helsinki in 1990, where the bands’ performances quickly became hugely popular. Ever since, the Hamina Tattoo has offered the capital a taste of the festival in the form of the Mini Tattoo.

In the middle of summer, on Monday 27 July, the Finnish Defence Forces – together with the City of Helsinki and the Hamina Tattoo, will hold the Mini Tattoo event on Senate Square in Helsinki, featuring international performers as well. Alongside the Conscript Band of the Finnish Defence Forces, displays of precision marching will be given by the Swiss Armed Forces Central Band and Canada’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police Pipes, Drums and Dancers.

Welcome!
