Do we need to book anything?

No. Admission is free and there are no tickets, so you can just turn up.

Is the 2027 program out yet?

Not yet. Organizations submit program ideas this fall, and the festival says further details come later, so check the festival site in spring.

Wasn't it in the city center last year?

Yes, in 2026 it was in the Lasipalatsi District and Narinkka Square. For 2027 it returns to Suvilahti, where it also ran from 2023 to 2025.

About

World Village Festival is a free festival about global issues and sustainable development, held since 1995 and run by Finnish Development NGOs Fingo.
