Särkänniemi, Blockfest, and Risto Räppääjä (engl. Ricky Rapper) are joining forces for the new Särkkä Rap event, taking place at Särkänniemi on Sunday, August 23, 2026.

Taking the stage at Särkkä Rap will be Alina Burnet, Luka Kallio, Quumiska, and LAURI, as well as Risto Räppääjä and Nelli Nuudelipää from the upcoming film Risto Räppääjä and the Last Ice Cream Cone (Risto Räppääjä ja viimeinen tötterö).

Särkänsilta and the New Harbor Gate is now open!

Särkänniemi opened its new Harbor Gate entrance to the amusement park on June 18, 2026, just before Midsummer. Located on the shore of Lake Näsijärvi, the new entrance is connected to Mustanlahti via the newly completed Särkänsilta pedestrian bridge.

Visitors can now access Särkänniemi through two entrances: the familiar Tornado Gate, located in front of Näsinneula, or the new Harbor Gate. The new route makes arriving at the amusement park more convenient, especially from the Mustanlahti area.

The new roller coaster premiering in summer 2026 is inviting thrill seekers who are at least one meter tall to ride together with an adult

Konect is a tribute to Tampere, to courage, and to shared moments

Tampere. A city that has always moved boldly forward. The clatter of hooves turned into the chug of steam locomotives. The hum of Nysse buses became the ringing of the tram. Now something new is appearing on the horizon: a track that makes traveling together more memorable than ever. The adventure begins, of course, at the world’s center of joy, Särkänniemi. Along the way you will see world class landmarks: the sky reaching Näsinneula tower and Lake Näsijärvi stretching into the distance, and of course the whole of Särkänniemi. The ride itself is the finishing touch: Konect brings together the youngest and the oldest, the bravest and the calmest, because the best journey is created when it is shared. Särkänniemi’s largest investment of the decade, the family roller coaster named Konect, will open for summer 2026. This unique coaster has been designed specifically for Särkänniemi, so there is nothing quite like it anywhere else. Konect is the first major roller coaster in Finland that riders as short as 100 cm can enjoy with an adult. Without an adult, riders must be over 120 cm tall.
