🇬🇧 Annual District Gala – 1950s Italian Vibes 🎷✨🦁

We continue the tradition of our incredibly fun Annual District Galas! After last year’s celebration in Otaniemi, we move to the harbor city – Helsinki – and this time we dive into the Italian atmosphere of the 1950s, marking the moment when Lions clubs first arrived in Finland 75 years ago.

📍 Venue: Italian restaurant Primo (old Pomo D’or), Helsinki
🕰 Theme: Italian 1950s
👔 Dress code: 1950s style OR dark suit OR Lions attire with insignia

Only the first 50 Lions (with guest) can join – secure your seat early!
