Literary Art Festival Muusajuhlat
In the European Capital of Culture year 2026, Muusajuhlat explores what being European means and how its conscious or unconscious influence is reflected in both Finnish and international literature.
The programme is mostly in Finnish but there are also events that include multiple art forms and are suitable for non-Finnish speakers.
The events are centered at the Oulu city centre in restaurants, libraries and other locations. Some events are held in nearby municipalities around Oulu. Most events are free of charge.
The nine poems or muses of antiquity have inspired humanity since ancient times. Now the muses are calling us to the world of reading and writing once again. Books delight, enchant and captivate. When reading them you can empathize, be charmed, reminisce, stray and linger – Books hold all our stories and countless worlds.
The festival is produced by Huutomerkki ry.
