The gala is meant to be a small, intentional break from everyday life, a chance to swap our hoodies for something sharper and make the evening feel a little special.
Dress code: Black tie.
Black tie typically means a tuxedo (or dinner jacket with matching trousers). A dark suit is also acceptable. For dresses, black tie means an elegant knee-length cocktail dress or a full-length evening gown.
Indeed, there is.
After the official programme, the evening continues in a more relaxed atmosphere at Kaapelitehdas. The After Party is open until 1.00 AM.
