Finncon is the largest science fiction and fantasy convention in Finland. It is held in a different city every year and attracts thousands of fans from Finland and abroad. The next Finncon will be held in Turku in July 2026. We will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Finncon (the first event was in 1986) as well as the 50th anniversary of one of the organizing societies this year, the Turku Science Fiction Society. This is why we have chosen the theme Beginnings (Alkuja in Finnish and Begynnelser in Swedish).
Finncon is free of admission and open to everyone of all ages and backgrounds. The programme will be mainly in Finnish, but there will also be lots of programmes in Swedish and English. The Guests of Honour are British author Adrian Tchaikovsky, Finnish author Reetta Vuokko-Syrjänen, fan Saija Kyllönen and researcher Hanna-Riikka Roine.
