The guards parades held during the summer months are spectacular events based on a centuries-old tradition of guards parades, in which, all military orchestras around Finland take part.

The guard parades for the summer of 2025 will begin at Senate Square at 12:20 p.m., featuring entertainment music, pattern marches and drill commands. After this, the parade continues to march around the Esplanade park to the front of the Helsinki Main Guard. From the main guard, the guard parade marches via Esplanade back to the Senate Square, where the parade ends.

After the parade, the orchestra will perform at the MIL-Espa concert on the Espa stage at 2 p.m.
