Window Walkabout

Please note, that there is no art work at this location. This is a general calendar event for Window Walkabout.

Window Walkabout is the largest art event ever in the Tampere Region (a.k.a. Pirkanmaa), where windows in the city centre serve as the stage for the audience on the streets. As the opening event of the Tampere Festival of Light, it will brighten the dark autumn with a surprising set of beautifully lighted windows starting from 24 October.

Around 20 of these will have performance content, such as circus in the Winter Garden, shadow theatre in the City Hall, kantele carving in the railway station tunnel and dancing at the main entrance to the Metso Library.

Free of charge for the audience, Window Walkabout is also the final event of the regional culture development project Operation Pirkanmaa and takes place at several locations. In addition to Tampere, it will cover 19 partner municipalities in October and November, which means that up to 200 lighted art windows can be viewed in the Tampere Region.
