Marking a momentous 75 years of India-Finland Friendship, Helsinki prepares to be swept away by the vibrant India Day festival this August! 

India Day is more than just a celebration of culture; it's a celebration of friendship and building people to people connect in Finland! It's a chance for the vibrant Indian community in Finland to come together, showcase their rich heritage, and strengthen the bonds that connect our two nations. We invite you to witness the spirit of inclusivity as diverse cultures weave a beautiful tapestry, enriching the fabric of Finnish society. This year's event promises to be even bigger and better, fostering deeper cultural exchange and building stronger people-to-people connections.

In February 2024, the Foreign ministers of Finland and India unveiled a special logo marking 75 years of deep friendship, cultural exchange, and collaborative spirit between the two nations. The 8th edition of India Day on August 18, 2024, to be held at Meripuisto, Helsinki celebrates 75 years of diplomatic relations and embraces the continued partnership, innovation, and mutual growth between India and Finland. The event theme is "Celebrating 75 years of India-Finland friendship".

India Day 2024 brings exceptional talent to the stage.
