The programme is created by the artistic director Teija Niku. If you would like your act to be considered for inclusion in the festival programme please email your proposal with sound & video samples to artists@haapavesifolk.com. Please do not add this address to any mailing lists. 

Many of the foreign artists are also invited to teach at the Folk Course during the week preceding the festival. 
​
We receive an overwhelming amount of proposals every year, so unfortunately we can’t respond to all emails. Thank you very much for your interest!
