FinnFest USA 2026 Opening Convocation: Hidden in Plain Sight
Advertisement
This event is part of FinnFest USA 2026, September 17–20 in Minneapolis—and this is where the weekend officially begins.
Hidden in Plain Sight comes to life through music, poetry, welcome remarks, the national anthems of Finland and the United States, dignitary greetings and Finnish American stories that deserve to be seen and heard.
Emceed by Justin Juntunen, the Opening Convocation brings together the people, ideas and anniversaries that set FinnFest 2026 in motion. It is the moment the scattered pieces become one shared story—and the room begins to feel like FinnFest.
Thursday, September 17 • 5:00 p.m. • Hilton Minneapolis Downtown
A Thursday ticket or four-day pass is required. Stay for the evening gathering and live music beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Do not arrive on Friday wishing you had been in the room when it all began. Choose your pass: https://finnfest.us/tickets/
