The City of Vantaa is auctioning seasonal rights to sell Christmas trees at the location shown, through an online auction based on ascending bids. The Christmas tree sales period is 7–24 December 2026.

A total of six Christmas tree sales sites will be auctioned. A separate online auction will be held for each site on the Huutokaupat.com service. The City will not permit Christmas tree sales elsewhere in the city's public areas. Please note, however, that the City cannot prevent Christmas tree sales on private properties.

All bids submitted are binding.

The operator of the sales activity is independently responsible for obtaining any other permits and submitting any notifications that the activity may require.

Only Christmas tree sales may be carried out in the areas. The Public Order Act must be complied with, as well as the following conditions:

• Anti-slip measures in the sales area are the responsibility of the operator.

• Structures and equipment installed in the area must be movable furnishings that:

  • do not cause danger or obstruction

  • do not damage street structures or vegetation
