Info
Lumo Art & Tech Festival expands around Oulu’s much-loved light festival in November 2026, bringing art and technology together in a spectacular way. The festival puts Oulu on the European map as a northern city of art and technology.
The festival takes place in Oulu from 13–22 November as part of the Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture programme. Over ten days, the festival brings together a range of events, including audiovisual performances, light and sound art, exhibitions, seminars and a professional programme.
The festival takes place across several venues, mainly in central Oulu and at the Linnanmaa campus. The programme has now been published and ticket sales are open. The programme is still being finalised, and schedules and event details will be updated closer to the festival.
Partners: Nokia, Avidly, Genelec, LähiTapiola, Oamk and Oulun Pysäköinti.
