Cultural climate change starts from the North and we are a part of it!

Oulu is the European Capital of Culture for 2026.
Siikalatva is part of the Oulu2026 cultural program and the cultural climate change. Northern Finland is gaining global recognition like never before, with Finnish and international cultural experts shaping new experiences across urban areas, rural communities and nature. This is a multi-year journey that culminates in 2026.
