Music, food, and drinks came together in a new and interesting celebration of indulgence as the very first À la Park was held in Helsinki’s Meripuisto Park on Friday and Saturday, August 1st and 2nd.

The event brought together people who appreciate top-tier dining experiences, diverse drinks, and high-quality live music—all in a beloved park setting by the sea. The joyful buzz of conversation, smiling faces, and overwhelmingly positive feedback left the entire team both humbled and grateful for the warm reception.

"À la Park is everything we dared to dream of during the long winter days. Excellent food, great music, and cheerful people in the most idyllic spot in Helsinki. I was thrilled by the variety of dishes we had a chance to enjoy while listening to the artists. On Friday, I had the chance to dine at the sold-out Koti restaurant by Toni Toivanen and Juho Ekegren, and it was the best meal I’ve had all year. And in festival conditions – unbelievable," enthused Pipsa Hurmerinta, who curated the festival’s culinary lineup.

We want to thank everyone who came to celebrate something new with us — an experience we have passionately believed in from the start. It was a perfect way to honor summer, friendship, and delicious pleasures.
