PART II: AUGUST 12-14, 2002,
THE TAP FESTIVAL CONTINUES IN HELSINKI Three more days of tap continued in the beautiful capital of Finland by the sea! Helsinki is a small, young and vibrant city coming of age. A small market town when it was made capital in 1809, Helsinki experienced most of it's growth in the last century. Its architecture reflects the austerity of the industrial age melded with the Finnish appreciation for nature, beauty and design. Surrounded by water on three sides, the city center can easily be seen by foot. In the summer the city is quiet since most Finns take holiday vacations in the country. This makes it easy to shop, visit the sights, parks and nearby islands and enjoy the long, mild summer days.
