Northern Oddity, Pure Beauty and woodland vibes
For two nights in the autumn woods by the seaside, a community, a universe reminiscent of childhood summer camps is created. A sleepover experience with 45 hours of music, art, and food for thought and soul.

This is the first festival in Finland to have only vegetarian food. The festival will focus on finding the best tastes, new producers, food for eyes, mouth and soul.
LOCATION
The Superwood Festival will take place in the architeturally impressing Hotel Rantapuisto. Designed by Ragnar and Martta Ypyä, it was finished in 1963 initially as a training center for Pohjoismaiden Yhdyspankki bank. The hotel and its interior, still faithful to the original 60's wood architecture aesthetics, is as vital a part of the festival as the actual lineup.
Address: Furuborginkatu 3, 00980 Helsinki
