Honestly, I spend most of my time inside or at work so I'll try to answer this as best as I can.
Well, there are a bunch of rock and metal festivals every year, especially more towards the summer. There's the Nummirock, Qstock, Ruisrock, Provinssirock and what have you. If that's not your thing there's also a bunch of jazz festivals around the year and probably some electro oriented ones too. And some country and tango ones too, but those are for silly old people.
There's also a LAN party event thingy each summer called Vectorama.
Speaking of the summer, a lot of Finnish families go to their summer cottage each year. A summer cottage is built away from cities and towns, usually in the middle of the woods and near a lake. They don't usually have running water or electricity, but a sauna is a must. Good times, a lot of grilled food and alcohol is pretty much guaranteed.
Ice hockey gets really popular during the winter so everyone's staring at their TV's to follow the SM-Liiga (Finnish Elite League. Not some weird sadomasochism thing)
