A warm welcome to the big party in a small village.

Festival of the year 2024!

The Board of Finland Festivals has named Kaustinen Folk Music Festival as Festival of the Year 2024.The festival was first held in 1968 and has since become one of the most important folk music events in the Nordic countries and Europe. The festival is firmly rooted in the region's folk tradition, but at the same time boldly brings together trends in contemporary folk music and world music, and makes these worlds play together seamlessly. Family-friendly festivals are something we return to year after year, because the atmosphere in Kaustinen is unforgettable. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
