In the Ruusu we are Open Mic #47 poeming on White Sunday 28.5.2023 17:00-20:00.

“Trasitionally on White Sunday the old folks’ youth sang, played and danced.” So enter you, old or new, strider or first timer to frolic with us.

Warm-up acts of the open mic are magical Joonas Sojakka and delightful Lempi Elo

After our amazing warm-up performers it’s time for the Open Mic. Time for you to shine.

You can sign up for Open Mic after warm-up performances. 
You are welcome to perform your text, song etc in any language, but we kindly ask you to keep it in 4 minutes, that all the willing performers have the opportunity to perform. It’s possible to connect your phone or music instrument to the sound system if needed. 

This event is produced and hosted by Fanni Oksanen and Natalia Karjalainen. Poster is designed by Tea Tauriainen.
