Have you recently moved to Vantaa? Would you like to learn more about the services near your home and meet other new residents of Vantaa? The City of Vantaa and its partners organize welcome events for new residents. Registration opens on Mon, March 30, for the Welcome to Vantaa event taking place at Heureka on May 7. You’re warmly welcome to join on your own, with family, or with a friend!

The city walks alongside the people of Vantaa. We want every new resident to find the services they need in Vantaa, as well as meaningful activities and hobbies. It’s also important for new residents to find communities and get information about their opportunities to participate and make a difference.

The City of Vantaa and its partners organize welcome events for new residents. These events take place in different areas of Vantaa on a rotating basis. The next Welcome to Vantaa event will be held in Tikkurila, Science Centre Heureka.
