Established in 1977









Auckland Finnish Society was set up in 1977.

We are active in celebrating the traditional Finnish annual events, there is a folk dance group that performs at events in Finnish national costume, there have also been weekends away and walks. Until recently a Finnish radio programme was broadcast. Language classes have been set up from time to time. A regular pesäpallo game runs which has proven to be very popular.

NZ aspires to be culturally sensitive and so Finns co-exist easily in such a multicultural community.
