Preparing for the Big Event in 2027
Major events cast their shadows ahead. Finland was elected to organize the European Stone Carving Festival summer 2027. At this event, stone carvers from all over Europe will gather to showcase their skills and creativity. In preparation for this major event, we are launching our 6th Stone Carving Festival in 2026 with a significantly larger number of competitors, as a kind of dress rehearsal.
