Kuopio is home to Kuopio Dance Festival

For the last five decades, the festival and the culture of its hometown have developed hand in hand.

We at Kuopio Dance Festival aim to create a more vibrant cityscape through the combination of world class dance art and unforgettable atmosphere. We strive to be a social contributor that unites people from different backgrounds and creates a sense of community and belonging.
