The renovation of Hämeenaukio started last year will be completed in September 2024. The new wonderful Hämeenaukio was supposed to be completed by the end of July, but the completion is delayed from the original schedule.

In any case, Aukiot will be able to organize a new Aukiot shopping event on Saturday, August 17.

The long winter delayed the start of the work

The reason for the delay in the renovation of the square is the early arrival of winter last autumn and the continuation of winter exceptionally long into spring. After a long and hard winter, the frost was very deep and the work was able to start about a month later than planned.

The exceptionally hard winter has also affected the completion of Aaron Heino's stone sculpture located in Hämeenaukio. The piece was originally supposed to be finished at the end of May, but it won't be finished until the end of August. The square's stone work can only be completed when the stone sculpture is in place.
