Our Story: Bringing Finland to You

Suomi Nights began as a passion project by a group of Finnish culture enthusiasts. We asked ourselves, "How can we share the magic of Finland with the world?" And thus, our journey began.

Founded by a diverse team of event planners, Finnish expatriates, and cultural ambassadors, we set out to create an immersive experience that captures the essence of Finland - from its breathtaking nature to its rich traditions and modern innovations.

Our first event in 2020 was a small gathering in a local community center. Today, we're thrilled to host our annual gala at the prestigious Helsinki Hall, featuring authentic Finnish cuisine, music, and interactive exhibitions that transport you straight to the heart of Suomi.

At Suomi Nights, we're committed to promoting Finnish culture responsibly and sustainably. We partner with local Finnish businesses and artists, and a portion of our proceeds goes towards preserving Finnish natural habitats.

Whether you're a Finn missing home, a traveler reminiscing about your Nordic adventures, or someone curious about Finnish culture, Suomi Nights promises you an evening of wonder, learning, and pure Finnish joy. Are you ready to experience the magic of the North?
