Website - Helsinki, Finland
The passion of the three event directors behind Finnfest is clear to see. The event has doubled in size over the last few years, and now approaches its 10th anniversary.
The capital Helsinki plays host to the event at the ruggedly beautiful granite building, known today as Paasitorni. With its tall ceilings, splendid chandeliers and impressive balconies - the venue is quite simply one of the most impressive on the calendar.
The event is a short walk to the beautifully calm inland sea - central, but close to nature. The perfect location for when you want to duck out of the event and soak up the local entertainment and culture.
