SAMPO Festival
SAMPO Festival is an international festival for puppet theatre and visual theatre, organized annually in August at the heart of the Finnish capital Helsinki. 2025 will be the ninth edition of the festival. We have invited performers from around Europe again, to perform at one of Finland's biggest puppetry festivals!
SAMPO Festival offers memorable, touching and entertaining performances for children and adults, showcases artists from across the field, different styles of puppetry and visual theatre, and crosses borders between different fields of art. In addition to performances, the program also features workshops, exhibitions, discussions and diverse artist meetings and other events.
The festival is organized by Puppet Theatre Sampo. Performances also take place at other venues nearby. Collaborators of SAMPO Festival are Helsinki City, Theatre Avoimet Ovet, Teatteri ILMI Ö. and other cultural establishments.
