Silence Festival

Silence Festival gathers the most interesting performances and artists from Finland and abroad to Lapland. The multidisciplinary program of art and culture is spread in and around Kaukonen village. At the Silence Festival one can experience art, beautiful nature and a very special atmosphere. The 14th edition of the multi-disciplinary festival is held in the village of Kaukonen, Kittilä 6 to 9 June. The festival program, organised by the Silence Artists’ Association, brings together the creators and creations of contemporary circus and classical music. More than 20 performances will take place in the Kaukonen village and this year’s festival will feature four circus premieres that are commissioned especially for the event. Many works combine spatial design with music and circus. Experiencing artistic spontaneity in characterful spaces is what makes Silence Festival unique. Getting to the festival is easy, whether by a combination of train and bus, flying or driving.
