Flagship event
Every summer we transform a lakeside site in Tampere into a weekend-long celebration of music, theatre, folk dance and craft. The programme mixes established Finnish performers with first-time artists, a children's meadow, a local food market and an accessible, family-friendly layout. Entry is kept free or at a nominal price so that cost is never a barrier.
All year round
Between festivals we host regular workshops in community halls and libraries across Tampere: traditional folk dance, kantele and singing circles, textile and woodcraft, storytelling evenings, and language-café style gatherings where newcomers and locals create together.
Artist support
We provide stage time, rehearsal space, fair performance fees, technical assistance and promotion to independent and emerging artists in the region. We prioritise artists who have had few opportunities to perform, including those from minority and immigrant communities.
Pirkanmaa region
Our youth programmes give children and teenagers in Pirkanmaa hands-on experiences in music, visual art, dance and performance — led by trained volunteer mentors. Young participants help plan and perform at the festival, building confidence, skills and a lasting connection to their cultural heritage.
