Join us in creating a shared Christmas for Porvoo!
The City of Porvoo, the City of Good Will of Santa Claus, invites residents and visitors to an open Christmas workshop to create evergreen garlands for Porvoo's Christmas decorations.
The Christmas workshop takes place on Monday, 30 November 2026, from 12 to 16 p:m. The event is open and free of charge for everyone. Everyone is welcome to participate according to their own schedule. The event will take place at Porvoo Market Square.
During the workshop participants get to make evergreen garlands that will later be used in Porvoo’s Christmas decorations. The aim is to offer everyone an opportunity to enjoy a shared and festive Christmas activity.
– We want to create a warm and accessible event where people enjoy the Christmas atmosphere while also helping to create it themselves. The garlands made by participants will become part of Porvoo’s shared Christmas when they are displayed in the city’s Christmas decorations, says Event manager Katarina Broas.
Employees from Porvoo’s Park Department will provide guidance on making garlands every half hour. The first session starts at 12 and the last at 15 p:m. Guidance will be available in Finnish, Swedish and English. The activity requires some dexterity but is easy and enjoyable.
Mulled wine and gingerbread cookies will be offered to participants.
Everyone is warmly welcome!
