Kaustinen Folk Music Festival Showcase Series
The Kaustinen Festival's well-established showcase series presents folk music artists who are ambitious, up-and-coming, and aiming to the international venues. Each year, a panel selects three representative ensembles. Showcase bands have been selected at the Kaustinen Folk Music Festival since 2013.
Since 2022, the Showcase series has included a delegate program involving promoters from other events and foreign delegates. Delegates attend the gigs of selected showcase bands, and band members get to network with the delegate guests.
