FinnFunn New
England Weekend 2023
hosted by the Cape Ann
Finns and partnered with
Gloucester 400+, is
located this year in
Rockport and Gloucester,
Massachusetts, October
27-29. Complete program
and event information is
located at this website.
The event is centered
around "Our FinnTown,"
consisting of Rockport and
the village of Pigeon Cove
and in Lanesville, a part
of Gloucester. Anyone
curious about the Finnish
community’s imprint on
Cape Ann, about other
FinnTowns and about
Finland (the happiest
country in the world) will
find programs of interest
as well as discover
similarities to other
immigrant groups.
Presentations, activities,
tours, and entertainment
focus on music, theater,
dance, history, and
culture as well as on
modern Finland and a
current animated film
recorded on Cape Ann by
Finns provide an array of
choices.
For thirty-one years since
a small group met in 1992
on a hotel porch in New
Hampshire, New England
chapters of Finlandia
Foundation National have
sponsored the event;
recent weekends have been
held at our anchor
location, The Inn at East
Hill Farm in Troy, NH.
Learn, contribute,
appreciate, and
participate in order to
preserve Finnish and
American Finnish culture
and heritage--common
purposes for the annual
event. Plus funn and
conversation for all.
FinnFunn New England
Weekend 2023 greets
frequent participants once
again and welcomes those
joining us for the first
time as, together, we
experience Finnishness
from Cape Ann to Finland.
Nähdään siellä – See you
there.
