Weekend full of events in Helsinki

Maybe it is because spring is back that Helsinki is hosting many events this weekend for everyone.

The first event is called Ihana Helsinki (fantastic Helsinki) and is dedicated to the fashionistas. Many shops in the city center have special offers and diverse shows are presented. This event is also a celebration to spring in museums and restaurants which are decorated with flowers.
