The Change of the Guard (Main Guard is the grey building next to the Presidential Palace with the big chains) on Fridays starting from 12.30 between 15.5.-28.8.
The Guard and a band marches from Senate Square to the Main Guard and then to the Kasrmintori. The military brass band will have an hours long show on the Esplanade (on the stand across from Kappeli) at 14.00 except 5.6, 12,.6 and 14.8
Been there & done that and I can say theres usually far less assclownery than in the Palace guard change in Stockholm, though they've got far funkier crome pickelhaubes.
