Helsinki Poetry Connection’s Open Mic summer club HPC Goes Puisto! is here again! This time the season starts at Lapinlahti Lähde’s Park as part of the Lapinlahti Loves Art and Life program. In case of rain, we will move indoors.

Bring your own poems or other texts to the venue or write your own on site at the nonstop workshop taking place from 3-5 pm! The detailed content of the workshop will be published on the event website later.

In addition, the Lähde Sauna’s Poetry Sauna will warm up as a mixed sauna from 1-5 pm. Bring your own towel and swimming trunks! The sauna costs 6€ (support price 12€) and it supports the employment and mental health work carried out by Kahvila Lähte. Towels can also be rented for 5€ from Kahvila Lähte.

The Open Mic itself will start with a warm-up performer (TBA) at 5 pm in Lapinlahti Park on the apple tree stage. After this, the stage will be free for your own texts and songs.

A warm welcome to poetry, summer and art!

The event is organized in collaboration with the Pro Lapinlahti Mental Health Association and Lähde’s Sauna.

PS. The next Helsinki Poetry Connection Goes Puisto event is on Sunday 20th July at the Käpylän Lippakioski.
