Meeting point for artists, presenters and audience

TIP-Fest is the largest contemporary puppetry festival in Finland. Founded in 2009, the festival hosts more than a dozen performances each year, with a focus on creatively innovative contemporary puppetry and a festive, community-building atmosphere. 

The programme is curated by an artistic director chosen by Aura of Puppets artists. We do not hold an open call for working groups.

TIP-Fest welcomes artists and presenters globally to meet Finnish puppeteers and discover contemporary puppetry pieces. See past festival programmes here: 2023, 2022.
