Seinajoki Attractions

Seinäjoki hosts two notable summer events - Tangomarkkinat, a tango festival and Provinssirock, a rock festival. There are a number of sites of interest in Seinäjoki such as the library and church designed by Alvar Aalto, the Lotta Svärd museum and the local theatres.
Church and Tower
This church tower is a central feature of the town of Seinäjoki. Seen from all sides, it appears to be a large cross. It is an award-winning structure built in 1958-60.
Province Rock
This annual weekend festival includes both rock and folk elements. The performances take place in a festival park referred to as the "global village."

Tango Festival
The Tango Festival sells more tickets than any other event in the Finland summer schedule.

Since 1984, when the festival began, the roads of Seinäjoki turn into "Tango Streets," with tens of thousands of performers getting into the festive spirit for July 9 - 13.

You can also enjoy symphony orchestras and learn dozens of newly invented tango-steps.
