Sat, 5 Sept 2026, 12:00–18:00
After a 10-year break, FunkOn is bringing the Finnish Graffiti Championships (Graffiti SM) back to Helsinki at Teollisuuskatu 16, right in front of the historic Konepaja district.
During the day, 10 of Finland’s top graffiti artists will transform more than 100 meters (330 feet) of plain plywood construction fencing into a massive public artwork in just six hours.
Artists will compete for the 2026 Finnish Graffiti Championship in two categories:
Open Division
U29 Division (held for the first time in Finnish history)
Visitors are welcome to watch the artists paint. Throughout the day, there will be a live DJ, an open graffiti workshop hosted by Molotow Store, and food and drinks available from Olari Brewery.
Once the paintings are finished, the public will get to help decide the winners by voting alongside the judges.
