Poetry Week / Runoviikko

There will be no Poetry Week Festival in 2024. But there will be some smaller poetry events that you will find on our “Ongoing & Upcoming Events” page!

Since 2001, the Poetry Week festival has created joy for its visitors on dark autumn evenings. Most of our events are in Turku, but individual events are held during the festival along Southwest Finland. Our performances are diverse, of a high standard and international: we strive to ensure that the festival covers as well as possible what is going on in poetry at any given time.

You can find us on Instagram under the nickname @runoviikkoturku and we are also represented on Facebook as Runoviikko. Follow us and you will stay on the map of what is happening in Turku in the field of poetry! Please also follow our website, as we will be publishing the festival program here in the early fall.

The people of the Poetry Week Association warmly welcome you to high-quality poetry.
