WHAT IS TAIKASAARI?

Taikasaari is a festival for adults—or rather, we could call this night our shared autumn celebration.
Nestled right next to the heart of Hämeenlinna, the lush and scenic City Park awakens in the warm September dusk to host an unforgettable and relaxed evening.
People don't come to Taikasaari for big names, but for big emotions. The performer lineup remains a secret until the event itself. The program is curated in spring 2025, drawing from a nationwide open call for performers conducted earlier in the year. Last year, we received 338 applications by the deadline.
The lineup isn't just about music—artists and performers can come from any field of performing arts and may perform anywhere within the festival grounds.
Only 2,000 guests will be admitted, ensuring plenty of space to breathe, move, sit, and enjoy. This makes the festival also suitable for those sensitive to sensory overload. The entire festival area is 18+, so you're free to enjoy a glass of wine anywhere in the park—whether by the beautiful ruins or immersed in a game of chess or any other game in the play area.

The stage and festival grounds will be taken over, one by one, by the most wonderful performers. Over the years, in addition to powerful and diverse musical performances, we have enjoyed exotic pole dancing, joyful samba, breathtaking fire shows, spectacular circus acts and acrobatics, spoken word artists, and intense armored combat. There is plenty to see and experience, from art exhibitions to tranquil nature walks, as well as encounters with mystical, wild, and playful roaming characters.
Our guests are wonderful, positive, and thoughtful adults, making the festival area clean and peaceful throughout the evening. Our tables are elegantly decorated and covered with linens. There are plenty of seats and quiet spaces available, or you can dance joyfully in front of the stage among like-minded people.
In Taikasaari's enchanting marketplace, you'll find artisan creators from all over Finland. The application for vendor spots will be open in spring 2025.

At Taikasaari, performers and event organizers enjoy the evening together with the guests. This is our shared celebration of joy and good vibes.
We have a deep passion for making Taikasaari more atmospheric, more functional, and more enjoyable every year. A heartfelt thank you to all our dear guests who have shared your wishes and thoughts with us.
In 2024, Taikasaari was sold out weeks in advance.
