Assembly Summer 2026

Assembly Summer 2026 is Finland's largest festival of digital art and gaming, where gaming, esports, digital culture, and demoscene art converge. The event is held at Helsinki Messukeskus Thursday through Sunday, operating 24 hours a day. All tickets are exchanged for wristbands at the entrances.

The event is age-unrestricted and suitable for the whole family. The recommended age for young participants attending without parents is 13 years; children under 7 enter free with a parent who has purchased a ticket. An assistant may attend free of charge for a customer who requires daily assistance - for smooth service, an EU disability card, visual impairment card, or other caregiver certificate is recommended. Messukeskus is accessible; more information at messukeskus.com/messukeskusonesteetön.
