Heute gehören Open-Air-Konzerte und Theateraufführungen ebenso zum Programm wie der kostenfreie Besuch der Museen, Stände in der Stadt sowie geführte Stadtrundgänge. Darüber hinaus vergibt die Stadt Helsinki am 12. Juni die Helsinki-Medaille, mit der verdienstvolle Bürger ausgezeichnet werden. Den Helsinki-Tag besuchen jährlich mehrere Hunderttausend Gäste. (de)

The event was started by mayor and secretary of the in the late 1950s. The first Helsinki day was celebrated in 1959 on the 409th anniversary of the founding of Helsinki. The number of attendees at events on Helsinki Day already exceeded ten thousand in the early 1960s. In the same decade, the events were made more entertaining and diverse. Main events, such as ice hall concerts, were added. As the day gained popularity, the association of neighbourhood societies wanted to expand the celebration to a full Helsinki Week in the late 1970s, but the city council denied permission. Nowadays, Helsinki Week, culminating on Helsinki Day, has been established, and it is directed by the event unit of the Helsinki city council. Since the 1990s, various units of the city council, organisations and corporations have organised events on Helsinki Day. The free-of-charge "Kaivari" concert in Kaivopuisto is probably the best known among the public. Helsinki Day includes the selection of the annual Stadin Kundi ("Man of the city") and Stadin Friidu ("Woman of the city") by . (en)
