THE ANNIKKI POETRY FESTIVAL (est. 2003) has grown to be one of Finland’s foremost poetry events. The festival’s focus is still on poetry, although it has expanded to also include prose, music and the visual arts. The venue of the Annikki Poetry Festival is a 100-year-old wooden town quarter in the centre of Tampere city, which has served as a very special, warm and welcoming milieu for poets and audience to meet and mingle. In addition to Finnish performers, the festival also regularly features high profile international luminaries. The next Annikki Poetry Festival will be held on 6 June 2026. In addition to Finnish performers, the festival also regularly features high profile international luminaries. Performance poets to have partaken in the festival in recent years include Mutabaruka, John Cooper Clarke, Anne Waldman, Joelle Taylor, Gregory Pardlo, Yumi Fuzuki, Nikky Finney, John Giorno and Jaan Kaplinski – many of whom had never been previously featured in Finland.
