Helsinki's New Year's celebration draws record crowd of 75,000 to Citizens' Square
Helsinki rang in the New Year with a grand celebration, attracting an unprecedented crowd of 75,000 people to Citizens' Square and Töölö Bay Park, making it the city's largest concert event of the year. The festivities were divided into two segments: a family-friendly 'Skidit-disco' in the early evening and a major concert later at night, which alone drew over 70,000 revelers. Instead of traditional fireworks, the city dazzled attendees with a spectacular pyroshow.
