The Lahti Fringe Festival started in 2018. Lahti Fringe Festival reinforces the urban culture identity and the brand of Lahti. It will support the local artists and culture by giving a platform for artistic development and cooperation with international artists and groups. It will also give local citizens, associations and businesses to be part of this network-driven urban culture event in Lahti.

 

All the most interesting and inspiring performances speak for themselves when we are choosing them. The political and religious agenda is not at the top of our wish list, but we are giving them a fair opportunity as well. Violence does not fit into our festival even on stage.

 

In the fall of 2023, the festival went into hiatus until further notice. Until it's resurrected, here are a few snaps!
