Our Kuopio Festival

Our Kuopio festival is residents’ own urban festival. It is held annually in August. The events are spread all over the city from the suburbs to the countryside. Whoever can take part in the events as an experiencer or make their own event. The events are mainly free of charge and open to all.

Next Our Kuopio Festival is held 10.-25.8.2024. The Night of the Arts is 23.8.2024.
