Culture Tram

The Culture Tram is a co-operation of Helsinki Region Transport, Helsinki City Transport and Korjaamo Culture Factory, which brings culture to the rails and makes it available for everyone for the price of an ordinary tram ticket. From August 16th, the tram will operate from Tuesday to Thursday on the route 7B. The live programme starts at 4.22 from tram stop Töölön halli. Tuesdays are for performing arts and Thursdays for live music. Wednesdays are programmed for different festivals that take place in the city during summertime. There are also monthly art exhibitions and video art by AV-arkki.

The project is supported by the City of Helsinki Innovation Fund.
