We’re turning 5 — and you’re warmly invited to celebrate with us!

For the first time, the festival brings together music, dance, and live multimedia poetry, uniting diverse art forms in one shared space.

This year’s program features an amazing lineup of musicians and composers:
Nikita Rafaelov, Abdissa Assefa, Pauli Lyytinen, Ilmari Heikinheimo, Jukka Kääriäinen, Wilson Tanner Smith, Simon Zion, Sebastián Castrillón, Hypersea (Esther Calderón M & Juulia Haverinen), and Natalia Castrillón; multimedia poet Daniel Malpikka; and dancers Ama Kyei, Montse Gutiérrez, Cayan Atalmis, Jacob Börlin & Pontus Linder.

As always, the festival highlights a wide range of styles, including jazz, global, folk, and experimental improvised music.

The event takes place at Lapinlahden Lähde, in front of the main building (Omenapuutalo).
