The Bacchanalia - Wine & Music Festival

Two thousand years later, the same celebration returns. To an island that was forbidden for 200 years.

The Bacchanalia - Wine & Music Festival takes over IISI Vallisaari's old ammunition depot and the entire festival grounds for two days. Dozens of wine producers at their own stations - 100+ wines to taste from all across Europe. Delicacies from three kitchens. Live music from dusk into the night, and DJs carry the party into the small hours.

Bacchus was not the god of drunkenness. He was the god of freedom - Eleutherios, the Liberator. His festival was so good it grew from three days to sixty per year. The Senate sent the army against it. The party came back anyway - and this time it has a soundtrack.

The ferry leaves from Market Square. The Bacchanalia begins on arrival.
