FlowFestival
”Flow is not just a festival, but almost a movement of what the utopia could be” –Attitude
Flow Festival, the truly unique city festival, has been organised in Helsinki annually since 2004.
The extensive and surprising music and arts program, the multifaceted restaurant selection that keeps eye on current culinary trends, and the enthralling festival area make Flow into an experience unlike no other festival can offer.
Flow Festival was born out of the founders’ passion for culture. In 20 years, Flow Festival has grown from a small club event to the trailblazing European music and arts festival it is today. Today, Flow’s vision is to be an international leader in festivals and one of the most attractive and prestigious festivals in the world.
Flow is committed to promoting equality, and it pays attention to its impact on the local community, residents, and the environment, as it works determinedly to cut down its harmful effects as much as possible.
Flow’s values
Content Orientation
Flow Festival is a carefully curated, high-quality festival with an innovative and content-driven program inspired by popular culture and experimental arts. With broad music and arts program, hand-picked food and restaurant services, thoughtfully designed and decorated festival area, and extensive sustainability program, Flow has put a new benchmark on the European festival scene.
Customer orientation
Flow Festival is committed to producing a first-class and equal festival experience for all of its visitors and other stakeholders. In order to ensure a high-quality customer experience, the festival implements a yearly feedback survey and is in constant interaction with its customers through various channels. Flow treasures the valuable input of its partner organisations, which are vital in creating Flow’s content and a magical festival experience for everyone.
Sustainability
Flow was founded for the love of culture and has since made its mark in Helsinki’s cultural atmosphere. Culture and events have a remarkable positive impact on people’s wellbeing, which works as an incentive for Flow, but the festival also acknowledges its environmental consequences.
Flow Festival has done extensive environmental work for over ten years. The festival pays attention to its impact on the local community, residents, and the environment and works determinedly to cut down its harmful effects. Flow aims to reduce the harmful impacts of production continually by, e.g. conducting new research and taking comprehensive environmental action. Furthermore, the festival reduces its environmental debt by donating to the Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation, which permanently protects old-growth Finnish forests.
Community spirit
Flow Festival is committed to forwarding the principles of justice, equity and equality. Everyone is welcome to the festival just as they are, and we tolerate no form of discrimination. We expect our entire staff, as well as our associates and distributors, to adhere to the same values.
