Yläkaupungin Yö takes place on 17.–19.5.2024 – applications are now open!
Sunny wishes from Yläkaupungin Yö!
Spring is fast approaching, and so is Yläkaupungin Yö. The festival will take place on 17.–19.5. The theme of this year is cats, which won the hearts of the production team members and got second place in the theme suggestion contest last year. Cats and animal rights as a theme will feature at least in the festival’s speaker program and charity cause to be chosen later. Cats will also feature in this year’s posters, program guide, and merchandise.
Benefit concert in Lutakko in April
A benefit concert for the festival will take place in Lutakko on the 27th of April. The concert will be organized in collaboration with Jelmu ry (Jyväskylän Elävän Musiikin yhdistys), and different artists from Jyväskylä will be performing there. The program will be published later this spring, and the tickets will go on sale then, too. Proceeds from the concert will go towards producing Yläkaupungin Yö.
