ODDfest 2026

Something bold is taking shape in the Nordic region: ODDfest, a festival for the creative industries of a new generation, is being built in the heart of Helsinki.

ODDfest - described as both a culturally significant festival and a catalyst for creative growth - is a fresh take on a professional and consumer-facing event for the creative sector. It is designed to inspire, advance, and connect creative audiences across industry, community, and national boundaries.

ODDfest and its accompanying conference format, ODDifference, are far more than a collection of stages; they are a space where art, business, and society stop drifting apart and begin working together to drive the creative economy forward as the next engine of growth.

ODDfest exists as a meeting place for the entire creative ecosystem. It welcomes everyone who wants to shape the future of culture and creativity - from emerging creative talents and professional artists to cultural leaders, entrepreneurs, brands, and institutions, as well as the passionate and culturally curious audiences seeking new experiences.
