Rovaniemi Night of the Arts 6.9.2025
The Rovaniemi Night of the Arts will be held for the ninth time on September 6, 2025, in collaboration with the City of Rovaniemi and local cultural and artistic organizations, on the Saturday of Rovaniemi Week.
ART BELONGS TO EVERYONE!
This year, we wanted to emphasize events without age restrictions, so that as many people as possible, including young people, can enjoy art and cultural experiences. In our view, art and cultural events are an important part of life and everyday living, which is why we wanted to bring them closer to every resident, regardless of background, wealth, or age.
On the Night of the Arts, the city comes alive with performances that delight the senses, workshops, open doors, exhibitions, and all kinds of surprises. The wide and colorful program demonstrates just how lively and energetic our small northern city truly is. During the Night of the Arts, events will also take place in unexpected and everyday settings. There are activities for all ages throughout the day.
Come and experience Rovaniemi transforming into a shared living room for people, art, and culture across the entire city!
