The Sibelius Week, begun in 1951, eventually evolved into the two-week Helsinki Festival, held every year towards the end of the summer (August-September). It attracts several hundred thousand visitors every year, and covers all art forms. Enjoy classical music at Finlandia Hall and the Sibelius Academy. Movies and poetry readings, theater performances and art shows can be enjoyed at various venues. The Piazza of Tastes gathers some of Helsinki's best restaurants onto Senate Square. One highlight of the festival is the Night of the Arts.
