Helsinki Samba Carnaval ® – tapahtuma tiedottaa 10.1.2021
Helsinki Samba Carnaval -tapahtuman järjestetään 12.6. kesäkuuta 2021 virtuaalisena.
Vaikea, jo toista kertaa tehty päätös syntyi vallitsevien olosuhteiden johdosta ja sai kaikkien liiton sambakoulujen ja järjestävän tahon tuen. Helsinki Samba Carnaval -tapahtumaa tuottava toimikunta on luonnollisesti harmissaan tapahtuman siirtymisestä vuodella eteenpäin, mutta on kääntänyt katseensa jo tulevaan: juhlavuoden valmistelut jatkuvat lisäaikaa hyödyntäen ja aktiivisena. Esiintyjien ja yleisön terveys ja turvallisuus ovat aina olleet monivuotisen tapahtuman pääarvoja ja vaikka tällä päivämäärällä tulevan kesän tapahtumia ei olekaan kielletty, on selvää että karnevaalien siirtäminen nyt tehdyllä päätöksellä oli ainoa järkevä ratkaisu. Muutoksesta on keskusteltu hyvässä hengessä myös tapahtuman yhteistyökumppaneiden kanssa.

Helsinki Samba Carnaval ® announcement January 6th, 2021
Helsinki Samba Carnaval – originally planned to be held between June 7th and 13th ,2021 will be held virtually.
This difficult decision was made due to current circumstances and has the support of all of the Finnish samba schools and other parties involved. The Helsinki Samba Carnaval Production Committee is naturally saddened by the situation. Committee is already looking ahead and the production of the 30th anniversary Carnaval parade for 2022 is well underway. The safety and security of the performers and spectators has always been in great emphasis of the Carnaval. Even though public events are not, as of yet, forbidden in June this was the only sensible solution now.
The postponement has also been discussed with the partners and supporters of the Carnaval, all in good spirit.
From behalf of the entire Helsinki Samba Carnaval® Production Team,
Helsinki Samba Carnaval® announces 16th March 2020
The annual Helsinki Samba Carnaval® event is planned to be organized by the Association of samba schools in Finland (ASSF/SSKL ) for the 30th time on 10th to 14th of June 2020. With just under thousand performers and tens of thousands of audience, the event is one of the biggest events of the summer in Helsinki. At the moment (March 16th), the Finnish Government recommends that all events involving more than 500 persons should be canceled until May 31st. The Regional Administration of Southern Finland has banned major events on 12th April until midnight. Recommendations and bans aim to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Since there has not been any restrictions for the summer season, the Carnival Committee has decided, in the light of this information, to continue the pre-production and preparation of the event as originally planned. We live in the hope that the measures put in place will put an end to the epidemic, and that with the arrival of summer we will be able to reassemble with joyful celebrations together.
However, we would like to emphasize that we are monitoring developments in real time and responding both to the direction of the authorities and to the prevailing atmosphere. We will inform you immediately about the changes in the event websites: www.helsinkisambacarnaval.fi | https://www.facebook.com/helsinkisambacarnaval/ | https://www.instagram.com/helsinkisambacarnaval/
