THURSDAY 30.7.2026 AT 11.00 AM

The Tattoo Parade is one of the highlights of the festival week. In the parade, the bands that have arrived in Hamina demonstrate their skills by marching and bringing an international atmosphere to the area around the Town Hall. In the Tattoo Parade, the bands march to the Town Hall Square along the seven radial streets of the circular city and finally all perform at the Town Hall Square.

Watching the parade

The Tattoo Parade attracts a lot of spectators, so it is worth arriving early. The best viewing spots are around the Town Hall, where all the bands will eventually arrive. There is also space on Sädekatu, but not all bands will be on all streets. The bands will leave in the direction of Kadettikoulunkatu.
