More information for exhibitors.
A sustainable festival
Sustainability issues in food production are at the heart of the festival. We want to provoke thought and discussion about how our food and consumption habits affect the world around us. That’s why we avoid plastic and disposable materials that pollute the environment as much as possible. We also encourage everyone to sort their rubbish during the festival.
Billnäs Ironworks
Just over an hour west of Helsinki, in the heart of Raseborg, you will find Billnäsin ruukki (Billnäs Ironworks). The ironworks was founded in 1641 and is known today as a center for local food experiences, Finnish design, and art. You can find restaurants, cafés, shops, a hotel, and more in the unique environment.
